  Nipple discharge is the third leading breast complaint after lumps and pain, with a prevalence of 5-10% in women. […] Nipple discharge in women is usually due to benign pathologies including ductal ectasia in 6-59% of cases, and papillomas in 35-56% of cases. […] Nipple discharge is associated with a 5-23% risk of malignancy in women, typically DCIS. […] Mammography and ultrasound should be used as first line imaging modalities in evaluating suspicious nipple discharge. […] Ultrasound should always be obtained for evaluation of suspicious nipple discharge, and is relatively sensitive and specific when compared to mammography (56% and 75% respectively). […] MRI with contrast is very sensitive and with a high negative predictive value, however there is a high false positive rate. […] Galactography or ductography had previously been considered the gold standard for evaluation of nipple discharge, however in recent years this modality is falling out of favor, as there are several disadvantages, such as difficulty with duct catheterization resulting in procedure failure, and procedural risks including contrast extravasation, iodinated contrast allergy, and mastitis.

• #2 Management of nipple discharge – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2696228/

  In a series of 8,703 breast operations, nipple discharge was the presenting symptom in 7.4% of cases. […] To be significant, a discharge should be true, spontaneous, persistent, and nonlactational. […] Milky discharges are usually treated medically unless they are due to a pituitary adenoma. If the cause cannot be found and eradicated, bromocriptine is the drug of choice. […] Multicolored sticky discharges are also treated medically, chiefly by nipple hygiene, except when advanced. […] Purulent discharges are treated with appropriate antibiotics but abscesses need drainage and a biopsy of the wall. […] Except in women under 35 years of age or in those anxious to have children, surgically significant discharges are treated by central duct excision. Good cosmetic results can be obtained with careful technique and the danger of a recurrent discharge is eliminated.

• #3 Nipple Discharge: Color, Causes, What It Means & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/21014-nipple-discharge

  Nipple discharge is always abnormal in men. […] It’s important to have a healthcare provider examine your breasts and determine the cause of any nipple discharge. […] Treatment for nipple discharge depends on the cause. Your treatment may involve: changing or stopping a medication, removing a lump or cyst, taking out a milk duct, medications like antibiotics for breast infections, treating the condition causing the discharge. […] If there’s no apparent cause for your nipple discharge, you may not need any treatment. Leaving your nipples alone and not squeezing them may be the only treatment. Your healthcare provider may recommend a follow-up exam or mammogram just to be sure. […] Nipple discharge is concerning when: you’re male, the discharge is bloody, it only comes from one nipple and not from both, it comes out even when you don’t touch or squeeze it, you also have a lump, breast pain or other unusual symptoms.

• #4 Nipple discharge: Causes and treatments

  https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319539

  Nipple discharge can be natural for females, especially if they are pregnant or breastfeeding. […] Anyone experiencing nipple discharge and has concerns can speak with a doctor. Nipple discharge may not always be a cause for concern, but a doctor can determine the underlying cause and treat it if necessary. […] The treatment options depend on the cause and type of the discharge. Nipple discharge due to a physiological response does not usually require any treatment. […] Doctors will diagnose the underlying cause and recommend the following: medications, microdochectomy, which refers to the removal of one breast duct, total duct excision, which refers to the removal of both ducts. […] Treatment for cancerous nipple discharge may involve radiation, surgery, or chemotherapy. […] Males who experience nipple discharge need to consider talking with their doctor, as it is atypical and could signal an underlying issue. Any person with concerns about their discharge or who experiences bloody discharge needs to seek help. Although rare, it could be a symptom of cancer.

  https://www.bci.org.au/breast-cancer-information/fact-sheets/nipple-discharge/

  Nipple discharge diagnosed as physiological discharge requires no treatment. […] Nipple discharge that is spontaneous, blood-stained, persistent, and unrelated to pregnancy or breast feeding needs to be investigated further. This investigation will include clinical examination by a doctor, and imaging of the breast with a mammogram and/or breast ultrasound. There is also a specialised X-ray available called a ductogram. A small amount of dye is injected into the discharging duct on the nipple. This outlines the duct and helps to identify abnormal growths in the duct lining. Sometimes the doctor may also send a sample of the discharging fluid for examination of the cells under a microscope to check for cancer cells. […] If any abnormality is found on these tests, a biopsy may be recommended. This may consist of a simple test such as a fine needle or core biopsy. Sometimes the area needs to be removed by a surgeon even if the tests are normal because changes in the nipple ducts can be difficult to see on a mammogram and ultrasound.

  This article will discuss the causes and types of nipple discharge. It will also explore treatments for nipple discharge, when to speak with a doctor, and how nipple discharge can relate to breast cancer. […] Treatment for nipple discharge depends on its cause. However, discharge that is not due to an underlying cause or from duct ectasia may not require any treatment. […] Other treatments for nipple discharge may include: chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, warm compress, antibiotics, surgery. […] If you are experiencing physiological discharge or discharge without an underlying cause, it is important not to squeeze the nipple and express the fluid. Expressing the fluid can cause more buildup, just like with nursing. If you stop squeezing it and expressing the fluid, your body will typically stop producing the fluid.

  Nipple discharge is classified as pathologic if it is spontaneous, unilateral, bloody, serous, clear, or associated with a mass.511,17 The most common causes of pathologic nipple discharge are intraductal papilloma, duct ectasia, carcinoma, and infection.17 Mammography and subareolar ultrasonography should be performed in patients with nipple discharge that is unilateral, spontaneous, clear, serous, bloody, or associated with a mass.6,7,911,17 Those with pathologic discharge, even with normal imaging findings, should be referred to a surgeon for duct excision.5,6,17,40 Cytology of the nipple discharge is not recommended, because the absence of malignant cells does not exclude cancer.6 […] Physiologic discharge is usually bilateral, involves multiple ducts, and is associated with nipple stimulation or breast compression.511,17 Bilateral milky nipple discharge is appropriate during pregnancy and lactation, and may persist for up to one year postpartum or after cessation of breastfeeding. Bilateral milky white discharge in persons who are not pregnant or lactating is called galactorrhea; a human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test should be performed in patients with galactorrhea to rule out pregnancy.5 If negative, prolactin and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels should be obtained to determine the presence of an endocrinopathy.17 Medications that inhibit dopamine and are associated with physiologic nipple discharge are listed in Table 3.9 If the patient history and physical examination reveal physiologic discharge and routine screening mammography is up to date, no radiologic investigation is needed.6,17,39 Decreases in nipple stimulation and breast compression expedite the resolution of physiologic discharge.9

  Nipple discharge associated with a breast lump ulceration of the nipple and areolar inversion/retraction of the nipple even if it is not spontaneous or blood stained requires urgent investigation. […] Microdochectomy (single duct excision) is the only procedure that will confirm a definitive histological diagnosis in a patient that presents with single duct discharge. […] Spontaneous single duct or bloodstained discharge requires a full set of breast imaging in the form of ultrasound and mammogram (for patients over age of 35). A sample of the nipple discharge may be sent for cytological examination by the pathologist and any mass or lump beneath nipple or areola may be subjected to a biopsy (fine needle aspiration or core biopsy). If there is ongoing single duct spontaneous nipple discharge, a microdochectomy, or single duct excision is usually required.

[…] Duct ectasia may be treated with surgical removal of the ducts involved. […] Infectious causes may require antibiotics or incision and drainage. […] If no abnormality is found, a surgical duct excision may resolve the symptoms. Treatment also depends on whether single-duct or multiple-duct discharge is present, and whether the symptoms of nipple discharge are distressing to the person. […] In some cases, there may be no need for any further intervention; in others, microdochectomy or a total duct excision may be appropriate. […] If the person wishes to conserve the ability to breastfeed and only single-duct discharge is present, then ductoscopy or galactography should be considered in view of performing a localized duct excision.

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17949-mammary-duct-ectasia

  Mammary duct ectasia often resolves on its own with no treatment. […] Some people find relief by simply applying warm compresses to the affected breast several times a day. […] If a bacterial infection causes your condition, your provider will prescribe antibiotic medications. […] Some people find relief from inflammation and discomfort with over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers like ibuprofen. […] If a milk duct remains blocked or leaks discharge despite treatment, your provider can remove the inflamed duct (or ducts) surgically. […] Surgery to remove the affected duct or ducts involves a surgeon making an incision (a cut) along the edge of your areola (the colored skin around your nipple) to remove the abnormal duct or ducts. […] Most find relief with pain relievers, antibiotics or at-home treatments like applying warm compresses.

  In a series of 8,703 breast operations, nipple discharge was the presenting symptom in 7.4% of cases. […] To be significant, a discharge should be true, spontaneous, persistent, and nonlactational. […] Milky discharges are usually treated medically unless they are due to a pituitary adenoma. If the cause cannot be found and eradicated, bromocriptine is the drug of choice. […] Multicolored sticky discharges are also treated medically, chiefly by nipple hygiene, except when advanced. […] Purulent discharges are treated with appropriate antibiotics but abscesses need drainage and a biopsy of the wall. […] Except in women under 35 years of age or in those anxious to have children, surgically significant discharges are treated by central duct excision. Good cosmetic results can be obtained with careful technique and the danger of a recurrent discharge is eliminated.

  https://abs.amegroups.org/article/view/6921/html

  In this review, we present an overview of the treatment and management of pathologic nipple discharge (PND). […] While all patients previously underwent surgical intervention, conservative management with close follow-up, biannual US, and yearly mammogram can now be considered in select patients. […] Patients with PND who should still undergo surgical excision include those with imaging abnormalities, a personal or family history of breast cancer, BRCA1/2 mutations, or PND that persists for over 2 years. […] In these patients, and in patients who desire cessation of the discharge, ductal excision is typically both diagnostic and therapeutic. […] Surgical intervention for PND is comprised of either total subareolar duct excision or selective duct excision of the affected duct. […] While surgery was once considered the primary course of treatment for PND a transition in management is occurring. Surgical resection is no longer recommended in patients with PND, normal imaging (mammography, US, and MRI), and no other suspicious findings.
