Were you able to breastfeed? I've had my piercings out for about 7 years or so and I still get that white stuff.. I'm pregnant now though, and I'm worried I won't be able to breastfeed my baby...

Did you ever find out about this? I know it is an old post. I have the same thing, left side same duct every time. Super thick, almost pliable white when squeezed. It seems to 'fill' after time and gets itchy so i have to squeeze again. Does this sound similar?
Hi there. I wouldn't say it is normal but common. prolactemia is something that happens often when a woman has a hormonal imbalance. I had it when my body was naturally producing too much estrogen. I would talk to your doctor about it. Some women have this when they have a very small tumor in their pituitary gland (I was given an MRI to rule this out). So, definitely something to see your doctor about. good luck
So I guess the white discharge is normal? I had my nipples pierced 2 years ago. They are still in, but I thought it was an infection or something. They don't hurt, but my nipples get dry and I have the discharge. Only one time did I have the wrong bars in which caused my boobs to hurt and I had lots of discharge come out. I took those out and replaced them with the old bars.
I'm 29. No nipple piercings. Never pregnant. Have one inverted nipple (Right) and one regular nipple (Left). I have the areola dot things that produce white substance and can produce a thick white substance from both my nipples.
I've been doing this since I was 14. It's 100% NORMAL. The areola pimple like dot things just produce oil. The nipple discharge is normal too.
The only thing you should be concerned about, is if there is blood mixed in with the discharge. Sometimes the nipple discharge can be white, green, cream colored to even black (mine have always white though)
The nipple discharge can be a couple different things from, cleansing oily discharge, premilk to dead skin mixed with the oil. Or puss with piercings.
It's nice that there is a community to talk about this stuff. As a young teen going through this, I felt alone and, discussing it with a doctor was embarrassing. My middle school health teacher explained it to me. A doctor backed it up years later after I grew up a little and felt more comfortable talking about it.
I always felt like a weirdo though, having just one inverted nipple :-/ but, as I've matured and experienced different partners, I've grown fond of my nipples. Though communities like this make me feel not so alone and different. I'm also happy to read that I'm not the only one who experiences both discharges from my nipples and areolas. Although, doctors will tell you its common and normal, it helps to see it from real people.
