Let's learn about Nipple Discharge (आइये निप्पल डिस्चार्ज के बारे में जानें)

Nipple discharge is a common complaint among women presenting to a breast clinic.
It it often normal (physiological) and needs no treatment. However certain types of nipple discharge: Single duct, unilateral, spontaneous, watery or bloody discharge needs further evaluation and management as it can be a sign of early breast cancer. On the other hand, bilateral creamy or greenish/greyish discharge on pressing nipple is often normal and related to a benign condition called duct ectasia. History of associated illnesses and intake of medicines such as antacids, thyroid medications and antidepressants needs to be noted.
Pathological nipple discharge needs evaluation with clinical examination, appropriate imaging and sometimes a biopsy if associated with a lump. Some patients may also need surgery which can be a single duct excision (microdochectomy) or total duct excision.
