Normal to last a few years with no change in color or amount? Just the same. Im 30. One child. Comes up in 1-3 spots in nipple. Only one breast .
Brief Answer:
no need to worry it is normal sometimes
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Thank you for your query.
Yes dear it is normal.
As you had gone for ultrasound and mammography which is normal so no need to worry at all.
IF any infection or any other problem than it will be clearly visible on both.
Sometimes due to some medicine or sometimes without any reason such galactorrhea is there.
So forget about it.
If there is any problem or any tumor like feeling contact gynecologist.
Thank you

Brief Answer:
it may be but not definitely pituitary issue
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
yes, you are completely normal and there is no issue regarding milk coming out from nipple.
It may be due to some hormonal change before periods.
So do not need to think about that.
Enjoy.
