Why am I experiancing nipple discharge?
I am a 17 year old female and I have been experiancing discharge upon pressure on my right breast. The discharge seems to be excreted from two different ducts. When I squeeze at base of the breast two small droplets of fluid is excreted, one an opaque greyish fluid, and the other white in color. It isn't a thick fluid, but is sticky. There isn't any soreness of inflamation around the area, nor are there any bumps or lups. I'm not, nor have I ever been sexually active, I'm not on birth control, and my menstral cycle is regular. I have been taking 40mg Vyvance(prescribed because of my ADD) every day for about a year and a half; I doubt that would be the cause of it, but I should probably include that. Anyway, I've been experiencing this for about 6 months now. I did some research and it says that this is normal and should go away on its own, but that obviously isn't the case...

Typically, this kind of discharge is related to hormones. Your hormones can be off. I had this because I produced too much estrogen. They checked my pituitary gland at that time. My suggestion is to not continue to try to express it (squeeze it out) and as ttjess says, mention it to your doctor. When is your next physical or well visit? As you are a teen, tell your mom. Don't be embarrassed. All women and young women at that have hormones and your mom knows this. So, it's best to keep her in the loop of what is going on. good luck
