What Causes Blood Discharge From Right Breast?
Good evening Doctor. I am a 56 year old female who is experiencing bloody leakage from my right breast. I went to the doctor today. She has sent a sample of the liquid out to find out if there are proteins. I also had some blood work today. What are the tests looking for? I had a mamogram done about a month ago and everything was fine. My email is: YYYY@YYYY

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Following are the causes of blood discharge from breast:
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.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
