Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 Vicki, Its a good thing to have this checked by a doctor. If my memory serves me, a discharge, depending on the colour, can also be from stress. I remember asking my doctor about this after my mom died.... According to my 1998 copy of " Our Bodies, Ourselves " a small amount of clear liquid discharge may periodically flow from the nipples during the reproductive years. I'm sure that Jule will have a more 'medical expert' answer as our RN in residence!! take care, wendy, in canada ============================================== Well, dang it. Now my poor daughter has a small discharge from her breasts<BR> -- she is 18 and NOT pregnant. She found the evidence while getting into<BR> the shower this morning. The doctor thinks, after examination & amp; some tests,<BR> that it is due to medication. The anafranil she was on two years ago (but<BR> not now) really threw her menstrual cycle for a loop, so she's been on<BR> birth control pills since, and also takes Risperdal. She is also on Luvox,<BR> but the dr thinks it is the first two. She (dr) promises that & quot;we won't be<BR> picking out any funeral hymns next week! & quot; (ya gotta love her!)<BR> <BR> sigh sigh sigh. We are trying to see the humor in this, but really. Any<BR> advice? Any similar experiences? Any sympathy? :-) & nbsp; -- Vicki in Montana<BR> _______________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 I would have this thoroughly checked out. It seems like last year at work someone passed out something for us to read regarding danger signs for the breasts for a particular diagnosis and this sounds familiar (tho I can't now remember exactly what it was called, sorry!). If I remember or find it, I'll do another post. She's not too young to have something serious (if anyone ever is!) so unless the doc is POSITIVE it's caused by a particular problem, I'd research on this a little bit. Not trying to cause any alarm, it could be quite simple as the doc says, I just wouldn't shrug it off if it keeps up. in N.C. > Well, dang it.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 Geez - it's just one thing after another, isn't it?? Yes, you should have it (them??) thoroughly checked out, but it's true that some women have small amounts of discharge all their reproductive years, and if it is coming from both breasts, and there are no other problems, then it is probably not anything serious. There are, however, tumors (not breast cancer, but elsewhere) that can cause discharge. Your poor daughter, and poor you. Best wishes, and buckets of sympathy, to both of you.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 Vicki, If it's not one thing, then it's another, huh? I wish I knew something about this, but I agree that you should follow up on this just to make sure it's nothing. Keep us posted, o.k.? -Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 HI Vicki: As the mother of sons I don't have anything similar to report. However I can imagine somewhat how worrying this must be to your daughter. It is enough to bring on all kinds of obsessions. Using humor is the best way to counteract this as you doc has so ably demonstrated. I think I read that lactating women who have never been pregnant were sometimes burned as witches. That is a great macabre joke you can make with your daughter that at least she can avoid being labelled a witch - :-)). I hope things settle down soon and your daughter can look back on this without it triggering a lot of symptoms. Good luck to you too, take care, aloha, Kathy At 10:16 PM 04/27/2001 -0600, you wrote: >Well, dang it. Now my poor daughter has a small discharge from her breasts >-- she is 18 and NOT pregnant.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2001 Report Share Posted April 29, 2001 Definitely have this checked out, however, I wanted to add that my daughter's psychiatrist told me when he put her on risperdal that it is not uncommon that it causes breast leakage... even at a very young age!

It got broken up by lithotripsy. , Wow, a staghorn kidney stone! Just saying it brings a shudder . I have had three kidney stones.All were basketed. This was before lithotripsy.I was told not to eat spinach,kale,choclate,coffee,tea and a number of other things.Also to eat (small) amounts of dairy and not to take calcium. Im glad I did not do as I was told. I have always eaten good amounts of all these foods and have taken calcium for years. After AIH was dx I had a bone scan and thankfully Im not at risk for osteoporosis. The stones were the most painful things I have ever suffered but I am still doing the calcium thing and always will. What was you lithotripsy like? How long did it take to zap them and how are you feelong now? Ann AIH 4/1/01 pred 25mg imuran 100gm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 my girl keeps complaining of leaking. i am not sure if its urine. she is reaching puberty, and i am not sure if it is due to almost ready to get her period or it is some of the supplements. she is taking: lithium orotate, melatonin and GABA. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
