Nipple discharge

Hi, a couple of months ago I noticed a clear liquid coming from my nipple, I lightly squeezed my nipple and yellow foul  smelling puss came out. I am still able to squeeze lightly and a foul puss like thicker than liquid stuff comes out.

it doesn’t come out every day it’s like it needs refilling before more comes out.

i just wondered whether I should go to the Doctors or not; I don’t want to waste their time as I don’t have any lumps or other bad symptoms.

Thanks

    Hi Meggggy123,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. 

    I am sorry to hear about your symptoms. We are always advised to see our GPs if we notice any changes in our breasts, no matter how small. I would certainly advise you to do this as soon as you can. This could just be a simple infection, but it could also be something more serious, so it is well worth getting it investigated. Here's hoping that it is something straightforward. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
