This article has just confirmed something that has been bothering me for the last couple of years.
It's something that has happened on a regular basis ever since I breast fed, and has ranged from a clear straw coloured fluid to dark green at times, and i admit, the dark green has worried me somewhat.
Especially since, having got up the courage to get it checked, I came up against an overworked cow of a doctor who barked that 'green means its old blood' after ultrasounding my boobs, as if this explains it and makes it all ok.
And I admit, the words didn't sink in till I was out of the hospital, I just heard the inference that it was all ok from her exasperated tone of voice.
But it has worried me.
And I have thought about getting checked again.
At least now i know WHY she seemed to think that it was all normal.
Underactive thyroid added to the whole post breastfeeding thing add up to a high likelyhood of a discharge, and at the same time the reassurance that the ultrasound would have picked up any of the nasties the article talks about.
and I feel a whole lot happier.
