 I'm 29 years old, and I started having pain in my left breast last summer. I also had greenish discharge when I squeezed that nipple, although it was only every few days and a very small amount each time. The pain was pretty constant for a couple weeks, then subsided. It has come and gone ever since. I have never had any discharge or pain before. My doctor at the time acted like I was silly for being worried, so I decided to go to a breast specialist.

A greenish discharge can be a normal secretion from the breast, or can occur from fibrocystic breast disease.  But these would not include the pain.  Greenish discharge and pain would likely be duct ectasia, which is a common cause, or mastitis.  With ectasia or mastitis the discharge will be thick and sticky and the breast may feel warmer than normal from the inflammation.

Warm packs over the area, lymphatic massage and antibitoic and anti-inflammatory herbs such as pau d' arco and licorice root internally can often help.  If these or pharmaceutical antibiotics do not work then the ducts may need to be removed surgically.
