Is A Thick White Discharge From Left Nipple A Concern?
Question: I am a male 73 yrs old and I discovered a bit of a thick, white discharge from my left nipple. Should I call my doctor?

This condition is likely to be Galactorrhea in which milk like discharge occurs from the breast. It is a result of high blood prolactin levels.
