Most nipple discharge is either normal or caused by a benign medical condition. There are instances, though, when discharge from the breast may be a symptom of some forms of breast cancer.

Dear vani,

U may apply vitamin E oil on the nipples as vitamin E oil has rich properties for soothing and conditioning the skin. Calc flour ( homeo medicine)is also used to treat the problem, application of it in salt form cures the problem in short duration. Application of olive oil or sweet almond oil is also effective in curing the problem. These can be applied topically on the nipples during the lactation intervals and washed before next feeding.

Please note that it is not normal to have discharge from the nipple. It is normal only while breastfeeding. This problem could be stress related because of which you have some hormonal imbalance and in result breast discharge.

Asked for female, 49 years old from new delhi

Hello, my mother is 54 years old and suffering from breast carcinoma. The doctor has removed the whole breast after operation and suggested there are no requirements for the chemotherapy only tablets are prescribed for taking the cure of disease and the medicine is 1.exemestane 25 2.phycolan. My concern is that exemestane 25 is coming to many companies i.e. Pfizer, natco pharma and others but pfizer company medicine cost is much higher than natco. Kindly confirm that we can take medicine of natco pharma or can go to pfizer because medicine is the same but prices are too much of a difference. Any difference between the effectiveness of both companies. Kindly suggest.
