What does clear nipple discharge typically indicate?

Clear nipple discharge can happen for different reasons. It is often related to hormonal changes in the body.

Possible Causes:

• Hormonal Changes: These can occur naturally or be caused by medications.
• Benign Conditions: Sometimes, non-cancerous conditions like duct ectasia or papilloma can cause discharge.

When to See a Doctor:

• Persistent Discharge: If the discharge continues over time, it is a good idea to talk to a doctor.
• Other Symptoms: If there are other changes in the breast, like a lump, it is important to get checked.

While clear nipple discharge is usually not a sign of cancer, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns or notice changes.
