hi;
welcome to healthcare magic
Since your mum is menopausal & 49 the reason the sticky fluid coming will be a thing to investigate if not a worry.The discharge if it is for first time it could be due to hormonal problem as she is not having pain;a swelling or a lump in her breast.You can wait & try to see if it comes again in a week .If it is increased please consult a doctor who can advise some investigation.
take care
thanks
