There are many types of nipple discharge. To choose the appropriate nipple discharge treatment method, you must first determine whether the discharge is physiological or pathological, so that you can better help everyone regulate their body and restore health.

1. Physiological discharge is not pathological and does not have much impact on the body. Pregnant women and other women do not need to worry too much. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, some pregnant women can squeeze out a small amount of light-colored colostrum from their breasts. A small number of women may also experience short-term milk leakage after an intense orgasm due to hyperemia of the breast blood vessels, breast swelling, and nipple erection. When women enter menopause, some women will secrete a small amount of milk due to endocrine disorders. These are all physiological discharge conditions and are not pathological. As long as you clean the discharge regularly, change your underwear frequently, and take good care of your breasts, it will not have much impact on your body.

2. Pathological discharge refers to nipple discharge during non-pregnancy and non-lactation periods. Based on the nature of the discharge, cytological examination, breast duct angiography, etc., it is determined whether the discharge is caused by a tumor, and then specific treatment is given.

If the discharge is not caused by tumor, it may be caused by mammary duct ectasia, mammary cystic hyperplasia, etc. The former mammary duct ectasia can be treated with medication or surgery, and the latter mammary cystic hyperplasia can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, medication or surgery.

If it is tumor discharge, it is often caused by intraductal papilloma or intraductal papillary carcinoma. The former is treated with local segmental resection, while the latter is treated with radical mastectomy.
