Bleeding nipples06/16/1997 |
What does it mean when nipples bleed (not nursing, 20 years old)?
Bloody discharge from nipples can be associated with many different conditions. These conditions can range from inflammation in the ducts, reaction to drugs, dilatation of the mammary ducts(duct ectasia), noncancerous lesions in the nipples or within the breast, or cancerous tumors. The bloody discharge must be examined under the microscope(called cytological examination) for a diagnosis. So, please see your physician as soon as possible to have diagnostic tests done. Cytology is definitely indicated when the discharge is bloody.
