"   Question I am a 41-year-old male. I have started to bleed from my right nipple - quite intermittently, and only very small droplets. It is not from an abrasion, but it\u2019s as though I am lactating blood. Should I be concerned about this? I have just found out that I have high blood pressure too: could this be associated? I do have an appointment with my GP, but don\u2019t want to waste his time if unnecessary.   Answer  Bleeding from the nipple is a symptom that always warrants careful medical assessment, regardless of whether the patient is male or female. It is unlikely to be related to your recent diagnosis of high blood pressure. Your doctor will wish to take a careful history and examine you, including an examination of your breasts. Both men and women are liable to develop diseases of the breast, although these do occur more frequently in the fairer sex. Further investigations may be required, depending upon the clinical findings and you could be referred to a breast or hormone (endocrine) specialist for advice. Although the bleeding may not be of any significance, it is always best to know where you stand and be reassured accordingly. Please keep your GP appointment and do not feel you are wasting his time when you see him. Yours sincerely Dr John Pillinger, GP  Last updated 02.10.2006 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
