Brief Answer:
NORMAL FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER FNAC

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
The reddish discharge would be due to the FNAC done.
IT is normal to have it for a few days after FNAC.
The FNAC result is fibroadenoma, so there is nothing to worry.
Primosa and EVion is the perfect treatment for it.
Please do not worry further.
If the blood stained discharge persists beyond a week, please see your doctor again.
All the best
Take care.
