i really dont kno but it happened 2 me once

I don't think you have to have kids for that to happen.

Actually it is milk. Some women have this happen, usually as a result of hormone imbalance (such as from taking the Pill) or having their nipples stimulated too much. If it worries you, speak to your doctor.

Were you ever pregnant? If not. Then maybe you should go see a Dr it could be something else. Nothing should be coming out.

You should go to your doctor if you're having nipple discharge, but you should also get a pregnancy check done if you're sexually active.

I actually discovered the same problem with myself last year. I am 25. I went to a few doctors to get some answers. Here is what they told me (you should still see a doctor anyway). They asked if I were pregnant, nope. Did I have any tenderness, pain or swelling, some tenderness, no pain or swelling. They took a sample of the drainage and sent it back to test for an infection in my glands. That came back negative. It wasn't a cause of anything in my diet either. After a mamogram, needle biopsy and breast exam they discovered it was just some weird genetic thing I had. My mother went thru the same thing before she had me and it stopped shortly after she gave birth. They tried to treat me with antibiotics to be safe. It could also be something related to the type of birth control I am on. Unfortunetly, I can't switch because it is the only one that gets rid of my horrible menstral cramps. I would have it checked out to rule out infection, but if you aren't having any pain or swelling you should be fine. Kind of an odd thing too, I got up one morning and did a breast exam in the shower and said "hey, I have never checked my nipples". Only after squeezing them slightly did I realize I had a discharge. If I'd had left them alone I would never have known. Hope this helps!
