FAQs

What you’re experiencing is nipple discharge not breasts milk. It’s not unusual. It seems you have high prolactin levels. Are you on birth control or any medication? Does the discharge happen without squeezing your nipples? Does the discharge have a foul smell? Does it come from only one breast? Are there any other symptoms in your breast like pain or lumps? I’d advise you to avoid excessive stimulation or squeezing of your nipples for now. Also, monitor the discharge. Finally, consult with a doctor to check your hormone levels.

A white, odorless discharge is just the vagina doing its job. Unless it’s itchy or smelly, there’s nothing to treat. But so many people have been conditioned to think discharge is bad, leading them to overuse vaginal washes, boric acid, and unnecessary medications, often making things worse.

Just like some people sweat more than others, some women naturally produce more vaginal discharge. It varies based on hormones, genetics, menstrual cycle and even diet.

Some women just have more discharge daily, and that’s completely normal. The problem is that society has made many women believe a “dry” vagina is the standard, which is not true.
