Hello, It has been noted that some Birth Control can cause nipple discharge in a few women due to the hormones contained in the birth control. However nipple discharge does require medical evaluation and you need to see your doctor as soon as possible. Nipple discharge occurs for a variety of reasons. During pregnancy it is known as colostrum and will not occur before the 5th month of pregnancy. Anything prior to this is not pregnancy related and should be mentioned to your doctor. Clear or colorless discharge can be caused by nipple or breast stimulation of a milk duct infection. Milk or white colored discharge is usually caused by too much progesterone, breast stimulation, milk duct infection or pregnancy. Rusty of blood colored discharge may be caused by a severe infection in the milk duct tissue or papilloma. Please see your doctor about this as what I have said is advice only and should never be used in place of a medical experts.
