What Causes Brown Discharge From Right Nipple?

Hi all, I have brown discharge not pus coming from right breast or right nipple. This has been happening for about 2 to 3 weeks. I am 48 years old and I have been menopausal for almost 5 years. The discharge does not smell the nipple is not discolored, swollen or painful. I do have a history of cyst in the left breast. Should I be overly concerned about this? Thanks for your support. Happy Holidays! Leona
