What Does A Yellow Discharge From Nipples Indicate?
I m a 20 y/o female, not pregnant, and I just came out of the shower and noticed a tiny piece of yellow gunk in one of my nipple ducts...should I get it checked out? There s no itching and I haven t noticed anything before. Or, this is dumb, but could I be pregnant? (I last had sex 5 months ago, but used condoms and pill birth-control.) HELP!

Hello,
Based on the fact that you used condom the pregnancy possibility is very low. The symptoms are more related to physiological discharge. This discharge is usually yellow or milky, it does not happen spontaneously, and it can often be seen to be coming from more than one duct. Physiological nipple discharge is no cause for concern.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
