Oncologist, Surgical,  's  Response
Any discharge from the nipple needs to be investigated to rule out an underlying pathology, particularly at your age. Generally, these are harmless or the underlying pathology is non-cancerous. You need to undergo a bilateral mammogram and a cytology of the nipple discharge. If both of these are normal, then you have nothing to worry about and you can either observe or get the offending duct removed by a minor surgery called microdochectomy. However, if any of these is abnormal, then you need to see an oncologist immediately for further management.
