What Causes Bleeding From Nipple?
I am experiencing blood on my right nipple. It looked like I might of scratched it or cracked. This has never happened to me before. I don t mean to sound like a hypochondriac but just want to know if I should set appointment up with my GYNOB to get checked out. IT is also sensitive.

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Following are the causes of bleeding from nipple:
1. Fibroadenoma
2. Infection of breast tissue, breast abcess
3. Duct papiloma
4. Breast cyst
5. Pituitary disorder
6. Irregular menstruation
7. Breast cancer.
I think you should consult the surgeon as early as possible for safer side:
You should go for following tests:
1. Breast examination
2. Pelvic examination
3. Mammography
4. MRI scan
5. Hormonal assay
6. USG
7. Biopsy from breast if needed.
Hope this may help you.
