Recently I noticed a clear discharge coming out of of one of my nipples. I first noticed it after I had come out of a hot bath and dried off. After that the fluid only appeared after a bit of manipulation.
After seeing the doctor I attended a breast clinic where they found that I had a benign cyst. They found no lumps and the mammogram was clear. The sonogram found the cyst. During this time they drew a sample from my breast with a needle. For a week or so later I had bruising on my breast.
My worry is that after about three weeks since my visit to the breast clinic, I've just checked to see if I was still getting a discharge and have noticed that it is still doing it but now it has blood in it. Is this because of the needle that had been put in me? I can't speak to a doctor today but I've upset myself.
I have an appointment to go back to the breast clinic in October.
Anyone with a similar experience or advice?

Either way you need to go back to your GP tomorrow and tell him how worried you are. At the very least he should be able to bring forward your appointment with the breast clinic.
I can't reassure that everything is fine because I don't have the knowledge to do so, but I do urge you to see someone as quickly as possible, if only to set your mind at ease, because you are obviously at your wits ends. Take care.
I've just been in touch with NHS Direct (Thank you Errodiel for the number)
They've told me to make a doctor's appointment, but feel that it could have had something to do with the biopsy (the discharge is brownish)
I'm not feeling quite so freaked out now, so will make a doctor's appointment tomorrow.
Fingers crossed that it's something that just occurs after a biopsy.
I think you've been given perfectly good advice though - if the discharge is more brownish than bright red then I'd lean towards it being older and from the biopsy...
If it's a fairly decent amount then your GP will (if they think it a good idea on examination) be able to take a swab to rule out any infection and/or co-ordinate with the breast clinic to see if your appt should be brought forward...
Hope you're feeling a lot more relaxed and for want of sounding like a nag, try not to poke and prod as that might irritate any residual inflammation...
All the very best x
hope all is ok.
