Early last year I had a microdochectomy to remove a papilloma after having bloody discharge from my nipple. Luckily the results came back benign, however I have now got more discharge coming from the same breast and it has been quite tender/ pain behind nipple. This time it is white, clear and greenish (different from multiple ducts) also sticky. The doctor has giving me antibiotics that I’ve been taking for 3 days now but no signs of improvement, possible got worse?i have a follow up appointment next week as may need to be referred to breast clinic again if it hasn’t cleared. I would have thought the antibiotics would have worked by now and getting a bit worried. I have family history of breast cancer (mums mum) but am only 25 so have been told I’m too young. However I was also told I was too young to get papilloma… Should I be concerned or am I just being paranoid??has anyone else had this experience, any help or advice would be much appreciated x
