Now I have very dark bloody fluid coming out.So what you think? I live in a rural community with no md access. Could this be something serious?

Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Yes it could be serious as greenish disharge previously and now bloody discharge can mean there could be some cancerous growth in the ducts of the mammary gland.
I will advice you to consult a general surgeon, oncologist as soon as possible.
If it is possible they will remove it surgically.
Please do not take it lightly and consult a surgeon as early as possible.
Thank you
