What Causes Painful Swelling And Abnormal Discharge From The Nipple?
Question: yellow discharge from nipple that is swollen and achey
Brief Answer:
Breasts ultrasound should be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Most likely you have an infection of the breast. There might be an abscess. If so, some hardness should be palpable. You may have fever with it. If there is a trace of blood with the discharge, benign tumor can be the case.
I suggest you to visit your doctor and have breasts ultrasound done. In case of abscess, it should be drained. Antibiotic might be necessary as well.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
