Question:

Dark discharge from nipple?

A girlfriend of mine said she has a black discharge coming out of her nipple. Someone told her it may be breast cancer. She is going to the doctor tomorrow, but I want to know if it could be something else. She had breast implants about six years ago. She is 39 years old with no children.

  1. Yes,it could be something else.It doesn't mean that she has breast cancer.It could be from where she had breast implants.


  2. Any discharge from the nipple is not normal unless the woman is breastfeeding.  She needs to have this checked out, it could be nothing more than an infection, a cyst that has opened up and draining or something far worse.  Don't jump to conclusions and let the doctor check it out.

  3. loma or from an infection. A papilloma is a non-cancerous, wart-like tumor with a stalk which grows inside the breast duct. Other benign conditions that cause suspicious nipple discharge include fibrocystic conditions or duct ectasia (widening and hardening of the duct due to age or damage).  A nipple discharge is more likely to be of concern if it is bloody or watery with a red, pink, or brown color; if it is sticky and clear or brown to black in color; if it appears spontaneously without squeezing the nipple; if it is persistent; if it occurs only on one side; or if it is a fluid other than breast milk.

  4. ewww. yeahh she deff. needs to get that checked out at the doctor.

    asap!
