Re: Nipple discharge...BJ, Kate

[Guest guest]

I don't know if nipple discharge was a sign of something or not, but,

I had discharge in both nipples - more on the right, I think. I had

a hysterectomy 4 months after getting implants and the " milk " kept

coming until maybe 6 months before I got them out. I had so much

sometimes that it would squirt. The doctors said it wasn't anything

to worry about. One said that since the implant sits under the milk

glands, just the pressure could be enough to make them produce milk.

It was the color of regular breast milk and my husband said it tasted

good, so I never worried about it.
