		An unusual cause of nonmalignant nipple discharge is duct ectasia with periductal galactophoritis, which is inflammation around dilated milk ducts.
		The most common cause of clinically significant discharge is intraductal growth of the ductal epithelium, due to hyperplasia, micropapillary proliferation, solitary papillomas, and/or ductal carcinoma (both in situ and invasive).
		The likelihood of malignancy increases when the discharge is unilateral and arises from a single duct, when it is accompanied by a palpable mass, when it is associated with a positive mammographic or galactographic finding and a positive cytologic result, or when the patient is older than 50 years.

	The many causes of breast discharge — what are your nipples trying to tell you?
		Approximately half of all benign bloody nipple discharge is caused by papillomata.

		The milky breast nipple discharge is a symptom, not a cause of anything.

		After the nipple is sterilized, a ductography cannula (ie, a needle with a blunt end) is gently inserted into the secreting orifice; both straight and right-angled cannulas are used.

		Dear Xunzz, Many women have some type of nipple discharge or fluid when their breasts are squeezed, and its normal.
		Squeezing the nipple sends message to the brain and the pituitary gland responds by increasing prolactin levels, which in turn produces discharge from the nipple.
		The time to worry about nipple discharge is when it’s spontaneous (comes out by itself without squeezing), keeps on happening,is only on one side, and/or if it is clear and sticky, like an egg white, or bloody.
