Breasts are tender and swollen with clear liquid coming out?

For women who have breast fed previously, there may still be some colostrum leaking out even months after they have discontinued breast feeding. Pregnant women typically do not see any colostrom until the last trimester.

You may be thinking at this point "but I've never been pregnant or breast fed prior to this leaking". This leaking can occur at any time, pregnant or not, history of breast feeding or not.

During your normal monthly breast self exams, you will see some discharge when you squeeze the nipple. If you start seeing any discharge that occurs without this exam, and have the following, please consult your doctor right away:

  • Leaking without squeezing
  • Leaking that occurs often (for those who are not currently breast feeding)
  • Leaking from one nipple more than the other, or just that one alone.
  • If the discharge contains any tint of pink or red indicating blood.
  • If it is clear or solid white in colour
  • If it appears like egg whites

There may be another cause for those women who see leaking from both nipples. These women have what is known as "galactorrhea". They have a harmless, tiny tumor in the brain that triggers a response for more milk producing hormones called prolactin. This tumor (or even tumors) do not require surgery to remove.

Always discuss any concerns you may have with your doctor. Tell him or her your symptoms, ask for a breast exam or mammogram if necessary. Let your doctor know if you are on any medications prescribed by other physicians. Some medications cause this, so read the pharmacy labels carefully.

*******Contrablue adds:


The previous contributor is correct, but it should be noted that cancer usually does NOT cause pain until it has reached an advanced stage.


The good news is: breast pain is usually NOT caused by cancer.


The bad news is: women still erroneously wait until their breasts hurt to check for cancer. Then it could be too late to achieve a cure.


Self examination and regular checkups should be the routine for every mature woman, and for all young woman with family history of breast cancer.


Anyone with breast pain of unknown origin should see their health care practitioner at earliest convenience -- not because of a cancer worry, but because more likely causes, like infection, can cause a world of hurt if they're allowed to fester.

It can be a symptom, but it can be a symptom of other things. If you know you are pregnant, it's just probably your milk coming in. If you don't know or aren't sure, go see a doctor.

AnswerNot necessarily. If you have already had a pregnancy, it is possible for your body to produce milk. I thought I was pregant a few months ago because when I pressed on my breast it leaked white fluid, but I wasn't. However, it could be a sign. Take a test to be sure and see your doctor either way.
