My name is Debbie Owens. I am a LLL Leader and have "lurked" on and off for several years. I want to inquire if anyone has any experience with a problem I am experiencing. My last child weaned 3 years ago. With that child I had repeated ( >12) plugged ducts in my left breast. I was able to ID some causal factors, attempt to avoid them, and in all but one case resolve the plugs early w/o antibiotics. Often I would resolve the plug by expressing spagetti like strands of more solid milk. I think I may have some tissue damage resulting from the repeated plugs and contributing to them. Now the problem. On several occasions in the last 2 years I have experienced pain and uncomfortable fullness in my left breast which feels like a plugged duct, even though I am no longer lactating. I can express drops of thick oily yellow clear (colostrum-like) fluid from both breasts. In my last bout with breast pain I tried hand expression and expressed yellow, mustard like fluid from one breast pore - approx. amount was 1 teaspoon. A few drops of white milk like fluid was expressed from a different pore. This relieved my breast pain temporarily. I had a normal mammogram 20 months ago, and will see a doctor this week. Has anyone dealt with anything like this before? Is it normal? Should I be concerned? Thanks for your help.
