What Causes Sharp Pain And Whitish Discharge Through Breasts After An Abortion?
I had a surgical (D&E) 19 week abortion and after I noticed this clear white-ish salty substance coming out my nipples.Its not leaking or letting down on its own at all but sometimes I do have sudden sharp pains in my breasts., could this be a sign of infection? And i also would like to know if this means my milk will not be coming in or could still come in if its been about 11 days since my abortion?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have aborted too early so it cannot be related to pregnancy. You are having breast pain so mastitis like inflammation has to be ruled out. Physical examination should be done along with USG study. If infection present then antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs should be prescribed.
Take care
Hope this will help you
Consult surgeon for examination
