What Causes Heavy Abnormal Bleeding And White Fluid Leakage In The Breasts?
Hi, I had a baby back in November of 2015 and about two weeks ago I had very heavy abnormal bleeding. Now my left breast is leaking milky white and clear (when squeezed) and there is bumps on my areola and some real close to the nipple itself. Some bumps are big and white and the rest are normal. I m not sure what this means or if I need to go in and be seen. Please help me

Hi,
Your symptoms suggest high prolactin hormone in your blood. You need blood tests &scanning of pituitary gland in brain(it secretes prolactin in lactating mothers), if indicated. After finding exact cause & range of hormone in blood. You would be offered specific medications to help you out. Please consult an Endocrinologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
