Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for reaching out to us with your concern.

Nipple discharge in a woman who's not pregnant or breast-feeding isn't necessarily abnormal, but it should be evaluated by a doctor.

A clear, watery discharge is less disconcerting than a bloody or purulent (pus) discharge. Possible causes include excessive breast stimulation, injury or trauma to the breast, or a hormonal imbalance.

Anonymous, when did you first notice the discharge? What were you doing before it happened? Is it persistent or does it come and go?

With more information, we may be better able to assist you.

Regards,
Maryann
