Return to Top When is nipple discharge of concern?

Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: 70% of women will have periodic nipple discharge. The nipple discharges that should be of concern are the ones noted spontaneously in your gown or bra, from a single breast and bloody or serous (clear yellow, like urine). Bilateral (from both breasts), cloudy green or yellow fluid, from multiple ducts (10 to 15 ducts open at the surface of the nipple) is usually benign. Although you may want to have any nipple discharge checked by your physician for your "peace of mind.

What if I have a nipple discharge?

Frequently Asked Questions: Indianapolis Breast Center
Nipple discharge is of greatest concern if it is spontaneous and involves a single duct. In that case it is still most often benign; however, it can result from a cancer in the duct. To evaluate it further, we will do mammography and ultrasound and also send samples of the discharge for testing. When indicated, based on those examinations, we will send the patient for surgical consultation.

What is the significance of a nipple discharge?

Breast Center of Texoma
Nipple discharges that are non bloody, non palpable and not seen by either mammography or by ultrasound are uncommonly of significance unless they are a nuisance by messing up clothing. Most cancers that involve the nipple ducts are bloody, palpable and/or imaged via mammography or by ultrasound. The greenish and yellowish dischages are usually associated with retroareolar cysts or hyperplastic ducts and can usually be followed.

If I have a nipple piercing, can I breastfeed?

Seventh Sun :: Body Piercing FAQ
It is possible. Very little research has been done, though anecdotal evidence would suggest that in many cases the ability to breastfeed is not altered. Migration is when the jewellery 'moves' into place or 'settles down'. It can stay in its new place or carry on moving until it grows out of the skin. This is rejection.

Can I breastfeed if I have a pierced nipple?

Pierced nipples do not usually interfere with breastfeeding, but any jewelry should be removed before a breastfeeding session to prevent your child from choking. If your piercing became infected when it was pierced or later, inform your doctor. Infection or scarring may make breastfeeding more difficult. Some of your breastmilk may leak through the pierced hole while you are breastfeeding. This is usually not a problem.

Will nipple piercings affect breast feeding?

Frequently Asked Questions
The nipple secretes milk through a system of hundreds of milk ducts, so the process of breast feeding will not be affected. However, if the piercing were infected, the milk would become contaminated and therefore harmful to the baby. It is strongly recommended that the mother remove her jewelry or replace the jewelry with barbells until breast feeding is no longer necessary. Also, at Avant-Garde we will not pierce a pregnant woman's nipples

How is a nipple reconstruction done?

Common Questions on Breast Reconstruction
There are many ways that a nipple can be created. The most common methods used include a C-V flap, which only uses the tissues already on your breast mound, and skate flaps, which often require a small skin graft from elsewhere (usually lower belly) to be used. Either method can result in a nipple reconstruction that is usually adequate in size to match your other nipple.

Back to top. 22. What is a discharge?

FAQ (ASP)
The discharge order is issued by the court and permanently prohibits creditors from taking action to collect DISCHARGEABLE debts against the debtor personally; this does not prevent secured creditors from seizing collateral if payments are not kept up, or other creditors from pursuing property of the estate. Some debts are not dischargeable, and others may be found to be non-dischargeable depending on particular circumstances.

I have vaginal discharge – what should I do?

OBGYN Doctors in Virginia Beach Hampton Roads, VA - Dr. Rich...
Not all vaginal discharge is your enemy. However, if it is: chunky, white (like cottage cheese) and accompanied by an irritating itch; foul-smelling; or green-yellow, treatment is required. The white, itchy discharge may have a musty odor and is usually a yeast infection which can be treated over the counter with a three-day or longer yeast treatment (NOT Vagisil). The other problematic discharge needs to be evaluated by a care provider, as we can not accurately diagnose you over the phone.
