No, I personally have not had this nor have I ever had children. But, to me it doesn't sound right and I would go back and get a mammogram just to make sure everything is alright. Some times younger women get what they call fibrocystic and they come and go and that may be what happen with you. But, I would get it checked out at least it would but your mind and your husband mind at ease. Be open and tell your doctor everything so they can rule cancer out completely. You will be in my prayers and good luck.

Hello Everyone. About 8 weeks ago, my left breast was tender. As a

previous breastfeeding mum (last session was 22 months ago +) it felt

like something was perhaps blocked, only a bit more painful. So as

any one who has breast fed before will understand, I decided to hand

express my breast to see if any old milk or whatever would come out.

Some clear sticky substance came out like silly string...i use the

word silly string so you can identify with the texture of this

stuff. I have had some clear discharge upon expression since. And

some continued tenderness. 3 weeks after the first instance I went

for my annual. Doc felt what she thought was a lump, but asked me to

come back 7-10 days post period. I did, she couldn't find the lump.

She said there is a ridge but she couldn't find the lump My breasts

are rather big too if that's a factor in feeling lumps...don't know.

Anyway. I neglected to tell her about the discharge or tenderness.

Should I have told her? I assumed since she didn't find a lump it

was no worries, but my hubby (A nurse) thinks I'm silly for not

telling her about the discharge. Please let me know if anyone has

had this happen...if I should reconnect with my doc for a mammogram

or more intensive exam. Thank you soooo much.

YES! Let your doctor know about the discharge. It may be nothing at

all but finding out for sure is better than not. doris

,

You definitely should tell your dr about the discharge. That is nothing to

fool around with and better to be safe than sorry. I will keep you in my

prayers.
