I've had a clear discharge from my breasts off and on for at least eight years. A doctor did a culture on the discharge when I first noticed it and said it was nothing to worry about. More recently a doctor said since that doc did a culture, all must be fine. It sure isn't normal as far as I can tell because no other woman in my family or circle of friends has experienced it once, much less over a period of years. They rarely have anything to do with cancer.
Many discharges are thick, and yellow, brown or green in color.
Because breasts are programed to emit milk when a baby suckles, squeezing your nipple indicates to your body to produce fluid. The more you squeeze, the more you make, Pettinga says. Other women have a condition called galactorrhea, says Simon-Jones. That means your body is producing breast milk. Some women can spur their body to produce milk just by stimulating their own breasts.
