Question : I am 70, On Sunday my right breast started leaking. What does this mean?
Brief Answer:
Needs further evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern. Any breast discharge needs further evaluation. After an initial examination, your doctor will order a lab analysis of the discharge, blood tests, and a mammogram or ultrasound or both. Without these tests it is hard to distinguish between a normal and abnormal discharge.
I hope this answers your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Best wishes.
