What Causes Oily Discharge From Nipples?
Hi my name is Rema I am 40 years old i got oily liquid coming form my left breast it was so much that went through my bra and through my shirt. Is this normal ?I have no pain or any lumps around my breast. I vent to Emergency room and they put me on antibiotic with a recommendation I have to follow up with my primary doc. Do to my ongoing hair loss for 2 years now I got an a estrogen pallet (hormone)123 mg cause my estrogen level was low . This pallet was inserted on my back 8 days ago. Is this oily liquid is coming because of the pallet or something else, Please let me know. Thank you so much for all your inputs.

hi Rema,
Thank you for writing to Health Care Magic and i understand your concern.
From your query i think that the discharge from the nipple is due to the hormone tablets you are taking. Oestrogen is a hormone which can cause such side effects.
But considering both your symptoms together (low oestrogen and nipple discharge) i suggest you to go in for screening tests to rule our Breast Cancer and Pituitary Cancer.
I recommend you to meet a Endrocrinologist for this regard and get help .
Hope this helps.
Write back to me for further queries.
Wish you good health.
