My 11 year old daughter has some white substance coming out her right nipple what shoul I do?

Question

One night my daughter said she was having pain in her nipple and I took a look at it and there was some white substance what could it be she told me she did not hurt herself what could it be and she is just going through her period.

Answer 1

That could be a sign of pregnancy, but that is unlikely unless your child is sexually active at her age. Perhaps you should talk to her about that.

It could also be a sign of cancer, worse case scenario though. Contact your pediatrician and talk to him/her about it and ask them.

  I know with 2 babies of my own I got nipple discharge at the very very beginning of my pregnancies.

Good Luck hope this helps.

Answer 2

Every time I'm at my gyn's office for the yearly exam for the past 30 years, when he does the breast exam, one question is always whether there is any nipple discharge.  He always says if there is to get in and report it ASAP because it is a sign of cancer.

Answer 3

That's a little odd, I would contact the doctor.

Answer 4

It's probably infected. If any part of your body isn't kept clean it can get infected and puss can come out of it. Take her to a doctor and he/ she will tell you what to do.

Answer 5

Answer 7

you don't seem like a mother of an 11 year old girl.  rather like an 11 year old girl yourself. if you were a mother you would know what to do. you wouldn't be on here asking for advice about something like this

Answer 8

let her visit the doctor

Answer 9

see your doctor immediately

Answer 10

Happened to me during puberty too. My mother is a nurse and she said it was a hormonal imbalance which is common during puberty. It never happened again so it wasn't followed up. Personally if this happened to my daughter I would bring her to the doctor just to be safe. :)

Answer 11

it may be hormones but milk when not pregnant is not a good sign. Take her to the doctor

Answer 12

Sometimes this occurs during puberty, and she isn't lactating (she isn't pregnant, I assume). Take her to the doctor ASAP.

Answer 13

no ive read about this on those puberty websites. its just part of her hormonal changes... monitor it for a little while and after a few days maybe take her to the doctor.

Answer 14

Please take her to her physician.  This could be benign however there is a small set of conditions, esp. endocrine that require further examination.  Good luck

Answer 15

I would ask the doctor.  I have the same thing myself sometimes, kind of like a cloudy liquid, it happens most when I'm ovulating, so it's obviously hormonal.  But I'd check it out to be sure.

Answer 16

It's either nipple discharge or possibly some premature breast milk. Don't worry. I have this too

Answer 17

Is it swelled and hot to the touch?  If so, could be she has an infection...take her to dr
