Do breast healthy side discharge

The answer is yes. Discharge may occur in a healthy unilateral breast, but not all are signs of disease.

I met several young girls in their twenties who had never given birth in the clinic. They ran a half-marathon in tight underwear. When they took a shower, they squeezed their breasts and some clear liquid came out. They were so scared that they went to the emergency room all night. After a B-ultrasound, there were no problems. It was just that the tight clothes were pressed for too long and the ducts were stimulated to secrete normal fluid. To put it bluntly, just like your saliva will flow if you repeatedly rub your parotid glands, and your eyes will shed tears if you rub your eyes too often, the breast ducts themselves have a small amount of secretion function, and overflow may occur when they are affected by physical stimulation and hormone fluctuations.

There are many common causes of physiological discharge: in women who have just been weaned for one or two years, the remaining milk will be slowly absorbed or excreted in small amounts. It is normal for some light yellow or milky liquid to come out when squeezing; and the recent consumption of birth control pills, antidepressants, and some gastric medicines such as domperidone may temporarily increase prolactin and induce discharge; this may even occur when some people stay up late for several nights and are stressed out, and their hormones are disrupted, which may also occur.

Of course, this does not mean that all overflows can be ignored. There are indeed two different tendencies in the clinical treatment of overflows. Some grassroots doctors will directly order ductoscopy, prolactin, and mammography as soon as they see the overflow, for fear of leaking early intraductal papillomas. Even breast cancer, after all, the early manifestation of a small number of malignant lesions is unilateral discharge; some specialists will first make a judgment based on the characteristics and triggers of the discharge to avoid unnecessary excessive examinations. In fact, the starting point of both ideas is for the best benefit of the patient, but the difference in judgment is the scale.

The 34-year-old Ms. Zhang who came here a while ago had an overflow during a community physical examination. The doctor said it was very serious. She was so scared that she didn't sleep well for a week. When she came here, her eyes were swollen. After asking for a long time, I found out that she had recently suffered from reflux esophagitis. She had been taking domperidone for a month and a half. The prolactin was indeed slightly higher than the normal value, so she stopped the drug and switched to other types of acid-suppressing drugs. After two months, she went back for a follow-up examination and found that the overflow had disappeared, which was a false alarm.

Generally speaking, if the discharge comes out after squeezing, the color is transparent, light white, or light yellow, and there is no hard lump in the breast, and there is no pain or sunken skin, most of them are fine. However, if it leaks out and wets the underwear without touching it, and there is only a single breast pore, the color is red or dark brown like coffee, or there is an obvious hard lump when you touch it, then don't delay and go to the breast department for examination.

When you are really unsure, don’t blindly search for symptoms on Baidu. A random search can scare yourself to death. Hang up a regular account and let the doctor check it out, and do a breast ultrasound. For a few dozen yuan, you can screen out most risks and avoid scaring yourself.
