Hi all. Thank you for letting me be here. I’m a 38 year old female and a little worried. I have had nipple discharge (only when squeezed) since I last breastfed 3 years ago. I mentioned it to my gyn. I had a clear ultrasound and mammogram. They also sent the discharge for testing and it showed the following: Rare atypical epithelial cells, scant cellularity, and scattered squamous and foam cells present. I’m clueless about what this all means. Curious if anyone else is also experiencing this? I have been referred to a breast surgeon and awaiting to get the appt scheduled. Thank you!

Hi sorry for jumpIng on your thread, however I am experiencing something similar. A little back ground, I’m 37 years old, my only child is nearly 18 and I have multiple fibroadenomas in my breast - to the point when I last had an ultrasound I was told it was difficult to see my normal breast tissue because of all the fibroadenomas.
In August of this year I noticed what looked like a small white pimple on my nipple and I was experiencing some fluid coming from my nipple. It’s not clear, it’s like a straw colour. I went in September to the Breast clinic and had an ultrasound (which is where she said it was difficult to see my actual breast tissue) she said nothing appeared to look out of the ordinary compared to previous ultrasounds I had had. The doctor informed me the discharge should stop within 6-8 weeks.
Roll on December and it hasn’t stopped…I had another appointment yesterday where the doctor looked and said he was concerned that the liquid appeared to be coming from only one duct as opposed all of them. He said this does offer cause for concern but that my scan didn’t appear to show anything scary or sinister. He explained I could have the duct removed, however with them being so small it could be the wrong one meaning I may still experience discharge or I could have the complete ducts removed. He explained there’s a 97% chance that everything is ok and 3% chance it’s cancerous, when I got upset he explained 1 in 7 women will develop cancer…but he can’t tell me if it is or isn’t without removing it and testing it.
I explained my concern is I don’t know my family history on my Dad’s side, so I don’t know if there is any history of breast cancer or any cancer and also that if they can’t tell me unless its removed, what if it is??? He said it would take years and years for it to develop more ( not sure what that means, if it was cancer I would want it out asap)
I said I would be observed for the next 3 months, go back in 3 months if nothing changes in the mean time and speak to a doctor, but if anything does change I need to ring up.
Please can anyone tell me if they have experienced the same thing…if they have been through this or know anyone who has…try to explain to me what is going on?? I’ve left feeling really down and like I made the wrong decision by not saying there and then I want it out.
So sorry for the long post!!
