Brief Answer:
Not worrisome. Discharge can be normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A mild amount of breast discharge that is painless can be a normal variation. Since all your investigation reports are normal there is nothing to worry. Such discharge is harmless and is not suggestive of any serious illness. P,lease do not worry and stick to regular mammogram as your doctor has suggested.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
