What Is The Cause For Discharge From My Breast With Odor And Hysterectomy?
Hi, I am 44 y/o female and have had inverted nipples my whole life. i have notices a discharge from mainly my left breast for at least the past 9 months. I have had a hysterectomy. I still have one ovary. The discharge does have an odor at times and becomes crusty. I can get out of the shower and half an hr after later i will notice the odor. As I was getting undressed for bed tonight I noticed dried blood in place of the discharge. I am up to date with my mammograms and they are negative. The dried blood scared me. I had oral surgery today, but no blood went down my face into my shirt, but I was wondering if that may have had something to do with it.

Hello,
You need to be checked out by your surgeon. Bleeding or discharge from the nipples is pathological. get another mammogram and required a FNAC. the discharge should also be tested.
