It's normal for some fluid to come out of your breast when you squeeze it. This is called nipple discharge and can be caused by a variety of things, including:
- Hormonal changes: During pregnancy, breastfeeding, or menopause, hormone fluctuations can cause nipple discharge.
- Stimulation: Squeezing, rubbing, or even wearing tight clothing can stimulate the nipples and cause fluid release.
- Medications: Some medications, such as birth control pills, can cause nipple discharge.
- Underlying medical conditions: While rare, nipple discharge can sometimes be a sign of a more serious medical condition, such as breast cancer or a benign tumor.
If you experience any nipple discharge, it's important to see a doctor to determine the cause.
