There are generally two different types of nipple discharge: non-spontaneous and spontaneous. Non-spontaneous occurs when the breast is manually squeezed, can happen to any woman and is usually not concerning. Spontaneous discharge, which spots on the clothing, should be evaluated by a physician and may warrant further testing. Nipple discharge is rarely a symptom of breast cancer, but if there is concern it should be evaluated by a health care provider.
