Personal Hygiene for Breasts
I’m a married woman of 24. I want the advice of a gynecologist. I have some gum like white secretion from my breasts since 4 days. It is not creating any pain but my husband noticed it while squeezing. It comes out only when forced, not normally. My menstrual cycle is regular. I’m taking some medication for cysts in the ovary.
You have made a mention of cyst in the ovary but not given any details. Sometimes this secretion from the breast can be due to a rise in levels of the hormone Prolactin which is produced by the ovaries. I would advise you to consult your gynecologist and report the same, as your prolactin level should be checked. If this is high then further tests need to be carried out to find the cause. Once that is done then, depending on the cause, you can be treated with medication. Please visit your doctor, especially since you have also mentioned the presence of an ovarian cyst.
I have developed sagging breasts. Will I face any further problems after pregnancy and breast feeding? I’ve noticed some kind of white discharge from my vagina. Is this normal?
In reply to your first question, sagging breasts are not a problem for breast feeding; only a cosmetic disadvantage. However you can prevent further drooping by wearing a well fitted bra. Pay special attention to the shoulder straps so that they lift the breast comfortably and firmly. They should not cut into your shoulder. Also do some resistance training to firm up the pectoral muscles. The problem of white discharge vaginally should be addressed. If this is a clear discharge, which occurs during the mid menstrual cycle and has no smell or does not cause itching, then it’s a normal ovulatory discharge. If the discharge is a curdy white and accompanied by itching, then you should see a doctor as it could be a fungal infection(Candidiasis) which needs treatment.
