Sometimes discharge from your nipplés is okay and will get better on its own. You are more likely to have nipplé discharge as you get older and if you have been pregnant at least once.
Nipplé discharge is usually not a symptom of bréast cancer. But it is important to find out what is causing it and to get treatment. Here are some reasons for nipplé discharge:
  • Pregnancy
  • Stopping bréastfeeding
  • Rubbing on the area from a bra or t-shirt
  • Infection
  • Inflammation and clogging of the bréast ducts (mammary duct ectasia)
  • Injury to the bréast
  • Non-cancerous brain tumors
  • Small growth in the bréast that is usually not cancer (intraductal papilloma)
  • Severe hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland)
  • Fibrocystic bréast (normal lumpiness in the bréast)
  • Use of certain medicines, such as birth control pills, cimetidine, methyldopa, metoclopramide, phenothiazines, reserpine, tricyclicantidepressants, or verapamil
  • Use of certain herbs such as anise and fennel
  • Widening of the milk ducts
Sometimes, babies can have nipplé disharge. Your doctor or nurse will call this “witch’s milk.” It is caused by hormones from the mother before birth, and should go away in 2 weeks.
Cancers that can cause nipplé discharge are:
  • Bréast cancer
  • Paget’s disease of the bréast (a rare form of bréast cancer)

Symptoms

Nipplé discharge that is NOT normal is:
  • Bloody
  • Comes from only one nipplé
  • Comes out on its own without you squeezing or touching your nipplé
bosom discharge is more likely to be normal if:
  • It comes out of both nipplés
  • Happens when you squeeze your nipplés
The color of the discharge does not tell you whether it is normal or not. The discharge can look milky, clear, yellow, green, or brown.
Squeezing your nipplé to check for discharge can make it worse. Leaving them alone may make the nipplé discharge go away.

Yoruba names for some animals & birds

This contribution answers the many questions that have always appeared as search terms on this blog for a long time. Unfortunately, I’m not equipped to answer those questions about the names of birds, animals, rodents … Such questions started appearing since the posting of What’s in a name? – A look at Yoruba’s views of some birds’ names by Deleola Daramola in June 2013. The article, a very popular one, had a mere 431 total views during the seven months of that year but would subsequently attract 1,640 views (2014); 2,868 views (2015); 2,822 views (2016) and in 2017 to date, there have been 1,872 views – a grand total of 9,633 views. There have been questions about “Yoruba name for igun”; “… hoopo bird called in Yoruba”; “… aluko and agbe birds in Yoruba culture”; “the English name of eye akalamagbo”; “What is the English of eye kowe”, and many others. At the end of the list, there are a couple of references, and more can be found through Google. PLEASE NOTE: Spellings often dif...

Tiwa Savage Files For Divorce As Husband Tee Billz Relocates To The US

If the report making rounds is anything to go by, then the troubled marriage of music superstar Tiwatope Savage and her husband Tunji Balogun Teebillz  has finally crashed after all efforts to make it work failed. Their battle was first made public in May 2016 when Tiwa Savage washed her husband’s dirty linen in an emotional interview where she talked about his battle with hard drug and other issues affecting their marriage. Though she later reconciled with him, the two seem to have finally called it quit. According to a source, Tiwa Savage has started a divorce proceeding as her husband who’s been missing in action since late last year has secretly moved to the United States. Olatunji Balogun who was previously married to a lady in the UK reportedly left his first marriage to marry Tiwa Savage who was one of the artists he was managing then. Sadly, Tiwa Savage got carried away by love without watching for the red signals. Even though her relationship with Tee Billz was not...
