Is this normal? Women/girls only please! Unless you are a doctor, nurse or somebody who studies medical?


I am 14 years old. Sometimes when I get itchy nipples this kind of clear stuff (looking like water) comes out of my nipple, its not a lot it is usually a little drop and it doesn't happen all the time. Is this normal or serious? Is it a sign of breast cnacer? No body in my family has ever had any times of cancer what so ever, and I don't feel any lumps around my breasts. Please please help! I am really scared here

I've studied some anatomy, but may not be as qualified as some on here.

I know a clear liquid comes from the female's breast during nursing, this is full of antibodies and what not for the child, and doctors say this helps to increase the immune system.
It looks like water, so this may just be that stuff coming out. My guess is because you are going through or about to go through puberty and it's normal.

As long as it doesn't happen a lot, I wouldn't worry about it.

Remember, I'm only mildly experienced, others may know a bit more about this.

i think that is just apart of puberty.. i wouldn't worry too much about the itching (that happens with puberty) but if the leaking of the clear stuff continues talk to your doctor. it might be pus, which could be a bad sign. if you are embarrassed about asking always remember since you are getting older at your routine checkups, you can always make sure your mom isn't in the room with you and ask your doctor. Don't be embarrassed because if you have to guts to ask it could end up being something serious that needed to be found.

Nipple Discharge is of Concern if it is:

bloody or watery (serous) with a red, pink, or brown color
sticky and clear in color or brown to black in color (opalescent)
appears spontaneously without squeezing the nipple
persistent
on one side only (unilateral)
a fluid other than breast milk

it's normal, you're perfectly fine. it's just hormones changing. mine stopped when i was about 16 or so and my breasts got a bit bigger
