What Causes Itchy Tender Nipples With Greenish Discharge?
I am a fifty year old woman just had a mammogram a couple of weeks ago that said everything was normal But, that their was dense breast tissue. My breasts were very tender last month ..Just a little while ago in the bath I noticed one of my nipples had a little bit of greenish discharge coming out . I squeezed both nipples and little discharge came from each..My nipples have been tender for about a month and a little itchy which I thought was just from taking hot baths ???

Hi,
You need to take the discharge seriously. Meet a surgeon and get a cytology of the discharge as greenish discharge is not normal . Tender nipples and itching also can be just normal but you need to rule out something serious with the above tests.
