Heavy nipple discharge from left breast

Shaz - sorry to hear about your sister's discharge. I haven't had the problem, so hopefully someone else will chime in. What about using the pads that are sold for nursing mothers when their breasts leak? Or maybe using sanitary pads made for menstrual flow? I actually used the sanitary pads during all of my surgeries as wound dressings.

MinusTwo, thanks for chiming in !! Great suggestions. We agree with your ideas, and highly suggest that she goes to her doctor(s) and shows them what is going on, if at all possible. Or could a home care nurse/physician come check on her? It sounds as though she may need to see someone. What are her plans on treatment?

minus two, jill I think gave me this link. I never ended up using sanitarypads and now the lesion bleeds only slightly when I change the dressings. I havn't had a large bleed for a long time and no hemmhorage for months. I quit fooling with it, no q tips, no tweezers, most of the time nothing or only a blot with tissues. I roll up tissues and put them around the lesion under the dressings, over the calendula or what ever to controll the sensations there for a while at least, and can flush the tissues on a change of dressings or somerimes just change them I'm now getting very little candida there, for a while a lot, stopped taking it off, stopped washing it. every day a shallow very hot bath. It's growing, but the bleeding made me weak for a month and I could no longer tollerate that. I;m 80 years old end of may. eat no meat for decades, no dairy for I guess a year, too old and have no time or energy to cook so eat amy's organic vegan bowls. good and bad stuff there. it's changed often during these now nearly 7 years, the weather effects it the most

abigail - how about using 'light day panty liners' if you still need some coverage? You can buy the variety that flushes for ease or a quick change. I kept some in my purse for a long time.
