Causes of white discharge from the nipple

We all know that when female friends enter the lactation period, white breast secretions will appear. This is caused by milk overflow. However, some unmarried female friends should pay attention to the white nipple secretions. It may be caused by breast development. Therefore, for younger women, the white nipple secretions may cause you to have symptoms of precocious puberty.

A woman's breasts will secrete milk only after giving birth. However, some unmarried girls or married women who have not become pregnant or given birth often find a wet stain on their bras. If they squeeze their breasts occasionally, some milky liquid will flow out of the nipples. This is real milk, different from the bloody liquid secreted by patients with breast duct cancer. Girls who encounter this situation are often too shy to seek medical treatment in time, or they are worried about contracting a "strange disease", which aggravates the symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to give a brief introduction to this phenomenon. To explain the reason, we must first talk about how milk is produced in normal women after giving birth.

It has long been known that the development of women's breasts is mainly affected by the effects of estrogen and progesterone secreted by the ovaries. Estrogen promotes the development of breast lobules, while progesterone promotes the growth of breast ducts. Under the synergistic action of estrogen and progesterone, the breasts gradually develop into a pair of hemispherical protrusions, which not only show the unique beauty of women, but also prepare for breastfeeding after delivery. However, as the research progresses, people have discovered that estrogen and progesterone alone cannot make the breast produce milk. So where does the milk come from, and what controls and regulates it?

It is normal to have secretions in the nipple. It is also normal to have a hard object under the nipple. This is due to excessive secretion of hormones in the body during the growth and development stage, which causes lumps to accumulate under the nipple. Do not squeeze or press the nipple with your hands. It will heal naturally.

There is white secretion from the nipple, which is unilateral and porous. The breast is tender and has a slightly hard texture. It may be classified as breast disease within the scope of traditional Chinese medicine, which is called abnormal breast development in Western medicine. However, its main symptoms also include a flat round lump under the areola, and relevant examinations need to be done in the hospital for a confirmed diagnosis. When children's breasts develop normally, they may also experience local hardness and pain, so please do not take medication blindly or worry too much. Just go to the hospital for a thorough check-up first.
