Right Areola Leaking Clear Sticky Fluid. Undergoing Menopause. Have Bladder Imbalance. Should I Be Concerned?
My right areola has been leaking a clear sticky fluid. When it starts to dry on my fingers if i touch it is slippery at first and then sticky. I can stop it with some herbs but it seems to keep coming back if i do not use the herb topically. Sometime i may cover it with a tissue to protect my clothing but to find it fluid has has a yellowish tone on the tissue. I am 55 and am going through my menopause gently as well, i have a bit of a bladder imbalance that has shown up in a loose tooth. (Traditional Chinese medicine). Do i have a need of concern? I just read that there is a fee. I am a practitioner of TCM and give health advise away for fee all the time. I make money in other places. I cannot pay this fee. Thank you for your time

Hai waterinwisdom,
Welcome to HCM.
Anyhow, kindly check your prolactin level in your blood. It is the hormone secreted by Pituitary gland which controls the lactation. It usually coordinate with other gonadal hormones and pituitary hormones. Very rarely when there is a tumor in pituitary it may be secreted unwantedly. So test your prolactin level. If it is high, then you have to go for CT Scan of brain to confirm the status of pituitary or near by parts like sella torsica etc. So immediately consult your Gynecologist or endocrinologist. They will guide you better. Get well soon. Dr S.Murugan
