Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Patty, Ok, thanks. It hasn't leaked anymore-just those couple of drops last night. But nipple discharge is a sign of leakege, right? I've tried to google it, but keep coming up with breast cancer sites, rather than breast implant problems. :(Tricia Trish <glory2glory1401@...> wrote: That bad odor is not a good sign. I was going to mention earlier that if it had a bad odor, that would probably mean an infection rather than spontaneous lactation. But you'll just have to get it checked out. Hopefully, if they are smart enough about it at your appointment, they might want to try to send a culture to the lab to see what it is. Better for you to know that much about it, so you can be more focused on your treatment. PattyLeyna <leyna1964 > wrote: Tricia,Thanks for putting my mind a little bit at rest. Itjust freaked me out because I've NEVER had a nippledischarge, even though my nipples have been "cracked"looking for as long as I can remember. The discharge was just a couple of drops-white, butnot milky-more thick than runny. It had a slightlybad odor too, which really freaked me out.I can't wait to get rid of these things! I wish myinsurance company would get off it's you know what andtell me something soon!--- Tricia Trish <glory2glory1401 > wrote:> Leyna,> What was the consistency of the white discharge? > > It could be pus if there was an infection, or it> could be milk through spontaneous lactation> (remember our discussion of that last week?) or it> could be something entirely different and I would> have no clue. > > Best to get it checked out.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Leyna, Phone your state's Insurance Commission and report your insurance company to them for failing to respond to the PCD's request for surgery -- twice. Tell the Insurance Commission that you are very ill and need the surgery ASAP. Most insurance companies hop to it when they are reported! I reported my insurance company once and they have been wonderful to work with since! They don't like the pressure the IC places on them and they will know that you are serious and won't tolerate their crap. Good luck!
