| 5/23/2012 | I have had intermittent spontaneous unilateral bloody discharge from right breast for over 2 months and now in the last 3 weeks nothing has appeared. Is this worth pursuing or is it a result of hormonal imbalance. I am post menopausal and post hysteretomy(3 years) The diagnostic mammo and ultrasound have found nothing. I am considered high risk with family history. What are your thoughts? | ||

| 5/23/2012 | given it was bloody it still needs to be pursued so do inquire about a ductogram. | ||
