What Does Discharge From Breasts Indicate?
Question: Hello, i have question regarding sudden white discharge from both of my breast after squeeing it vigorously while having sex with my husband. I had my period in this month but my flow was light than usual because i had I-pill before my period had started in this month. Am tensed. Please help me. What might be the cause?
Brief Answer:
Prolactin levels and Urine pregnancy test advised.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Monalisha, Welcome to HCM forum. Thanks for writing to us with your health query. I have read tour query and understand your concerns completely. White discharge from the breast can be due to the ipill , although rare. It can also be due to raised levels of prolactin hormone or due to pregnancy. So I will advise you to get your Prolactin levels done. Also take a home pregnancy test although the chances are very very rare that you are pregnant. This can be an occasional finding so please stay calm and get back with reports. If you have any other query feel free to ask. Regards Dr Manisha Jain, OBGY.

Hello, doctor. i want to ask that i had my period on this month which was on 13th XXXXXXX 2016 and it lasted for 5days. although the flow was light may be due to ipill. And i had ipill within 24hr of sex which was on the month of december 2015. So, is there still chance of pregnancy? as i had my period on this month. And Suddenly today while having sex with my husbnd my breast got rubbed/squeed vigorously at that time my husbnd noticed the sudden white discharge from my breast. The amount was like a tiny drop. So, can it be the reason of it? I mean due to it got rubbed vigorously? plz help
Brief Answer:
Wait for next periods
Detailed Answer:
Since you had a flow of 5 days but lighter one the chances of pregnancy are very less and this is all because of the effect of I pill. And the discharge part can be due to raised prolactin levels because it is rare to have discharge due to vigorous Breast squeezing. There can be blood stained fluid at times because of squeezing but whitish discharge is unlikely.
In case you are reluctant in getting the tests done then you can wait for next period and if the flow is find and in that time there is no such discharge from nipple then nothing to worry.
Prolactin levels are raised in around 2-3% of asymptomatic patients and in pregnancy also but are easy to manage and usually have no long term side effects.
Take care.

Thank u doctor for your time. bt want to ask does it matter in the pregnancy test if by mistake 4drops are added? coz it said to give 3drops but by mistake i added 4. Does this change in result for one extra drop? And more thing doctor i want to inform for checking i squeeze my breast to see the discharge is coming out or not! i did it and after squeezing my breast tiny bit white discharge is still coming out. So should i do the prolactin test? Am i ok? Am very worried doctor.
