(it is coming out of the left nipple)
Q: does the brown liquid coming out from my left not right breast mean i have cancer?I am not feeling any pains and have no noticeable or big nor medium lumps
It is not unusual to have some discharge from the nipples at times when the body is going through hormonal changes like during puberty. When it is just on one side and/or when it happens even when you don't squeeze, it is a good idea to have a doctor check it out. It is extremely unlikely (almost impossible) that you would have breast cancer at your age, but you might have an infection or irritation inside your milk ducts that needs a doctor's attention. Sarah, I know it is embarrassing to talk to your parents about your breasts; however, you need to let your mom or another adult you trust like a school nurse know what is going on, so that the adult can make the decision about whether you need to see a doctor.
Sarah, I'm so glad Phyllis was able to help you feel better. Please read our message to teens, which goes over exactly why we can say with almost 100% certainty that cancer isn't causing these symptoms; I think you'll find the piece helpful. Take care - PJH
thank you for answering my question but what are some things that might have caused this brwon liquid and what may it be if it isnt cancerous
and lastly how can i get rid of it?
oh ya and i want on the links and i am soooo much more releaved now thank you very very much
Sarah, most likely it'll go away on its own; there's nothing you can do to help the healing along, in my opinion. It could be you had a small, benign growth in one of your milk ducts that was causing some irritation, or maybe you inadvertently bumped your breast and caused a small injury. At any rate, if it doesn't stsrt to improve soon, please do tell an adult and make an appointment to see the doctor; there may be something that can be done to stop the discharge. Take care - PJH
