Preparing for your appointment
By Mayo Clinic staffWhat to expect from your doctor
If you have symptoms of mammary duct ectasia, be prepared to answer these types of questions from your doctor:
- Do you have symptoms in one or both breasts?
- Do you have nipple or breast tenderness or redness?
- Do you have a lump or thickening in your breast?
- Do you have any other signs or symptoms, such as a fever?
If you have nipple discharge:
- What color is it?
- How much is there?
- Does it appear to come from one opening in your nipple or multiple openings?
- Is it spontaneous, or does it happen only when you squeeze your nipple or breast?
Be sure to mention any other observations you think may be relevant. For instance, your doctor might want to know your medical history and how long you've had symptoms.
