“Nipple discharge?”
I am having clear sticky discharge from one nipple. I haven’t stimulated it. I can’t be pregnant. My mother had breast cancer. So I’m a little concerned. I don’t have health insurance should I be worried? I am a 31 year old female my mother had breast cancer at 39/40. I am not on any medications.

It is always a good idea to get it checked out.
Take care!

This may be a hormonal response. It may be a fluke. Since it has been
going on for 2 months, it might be good to see an MD.

Hello,
You are a 31 year old woman with a close family history of breast cancer. You now have a discharge of fluid from your breast. You are concerned about cancer but have no health insurance.
I agree that this should be evaluated. I can suggest that you consult a local county hospital which is unlikely to be concerned about insurance. Or you can call your state health department to apply for Medicaid type insurance.
It is necessary to diagnose the cause of this discharge. You may have an infection. With your family history of breast cancer at a young age your concern about breast cancer is justified. There are tests that are recommended including genetic evaluations to determine your risk of having inherited this trait.
Good luck.

Considering the family history I would be suspicious of malignancy. I
would review breast screening history, question any palpable breast changes.
