dear user
thanks for contact HCM
brief answer
it refers to mastitis or breast abscess or due to hormonal disturbance and no worry of that if you have no pain
detailed answer
your nipple discharge may be due to just hormonal changes and just as small amount ofbreast milk discharged...if you have pain or fever it is suggested breast abscess needs antibiotic treatment..also it may refer to mastitis that means mild inflammation of your breast
so you shouldnot worry if you have no pain
hope that helps
