Brief Answer: It can be still from your pregnancy. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thank you for using HCM, I would love to help. even though it has been a month, it can still be from the pregnancy, even though the pregnancy was terminated so early. Try to not squeeze your breasts, because that can only make it worse. If the problem persists more than three months after the abortion, you should have your doctor check hormone levels such as prolactin and thyroid, which can be related to nipple discharge while not pregnant or nursing. I hope this was helpful, please let me know if you have any more questions. Regards.

Can a woman secrete breast milk within 1 month of pregnancy?
doctor
Answered by Dr. Saul Weinreb (8 minutes later)
Brief Answer: Yes Detailed Answer: due to the increase in progesterone associated with pregnancy, there can occasionally be nipple discharge even early in pregnancy, and it can persist for several weeks after pregnancy. We usually want test for other disorders unless it persists for several months after pregnancy. It is not common, but at this point it still could be the pregnancy. It is not actually milk, but it can appear similar. I would wait a little longer and try to avoid nipple stimulation, and see your doctor if it continues for several more weeks, until around three months after the pregnancy was terminated. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I hope I am being helpful to you.
