What Causes Clear Oily Liquid Discharge From The Breasts?

Hello. I ve recently noticed a clear oily substance coming from my breast and I m quite concern about what it could be. I have a 7 month old daughter that I m no longer breastfeeding, so I would appreciate if you could tell me what the reason for this could be. Thanks

OBGYN,  's  Response
Hello mam, I would like to know whether the discharge is from one or both the breasts? Or if the discharge is painful? If its from both breasts either it is a milk discharge or due to hyperprolactinemia in that case get your prolactin levels checked. If levels are normal nothing to worry but visit your gynecologist if levels are raised or in case of discharge from one breast only.
