It would be wise to schedule an appointment with either a gynecologist or your primary care physician for a complete breast examination. Nipple discharge in a woman who's not pregnant or breast-feeding isn't necessarily abnormal, but it should be evaluated by a doctor.
When did you first experience a watery discharge from your breast? Did this occur in both breasts? Is it constant or does it only happen now and then? Are you having any other symptoms, like feel a lump or discomfort?
Nonmilk discharge comes out of your breasts through the same nipple openings that carry milk. The consistency of nipple discharge can vary — it may be thick and sticky or thin and watery.
Possible causes include:
excessive breast stimulation
menstrual cycle hormonal changes
injury or trauma to the breast
abscess
