Dr. Christine Horner is a board-certified plastic surgeon, author, speaker and advocate for women’s health. Horner is particularly interested in breast cancer prevention and encourages women to be more knowledgeable about alternative and natural health treatments as well as managing stress.

Horner helped in the national effort to force insurers to pay for breast reconstruction surgery following a mastectomy. The Breast Reconstruction Advocacy Project became a bill that was signed into federal law in 1998.

Horner is the author of Waking the Warrior Goddess: Dr. Christine Horner’s Program to Protect Against and Fight Breast Cancer which offers information about nutrition, lifestyle and supplements that can empower women to take preventative measures against breast cancer.

I’m a black 40 year old female. During a breast self exam I noticed blood from one of my milk duct when I squeezed my nipple and a dark green sticky discharge. I have since had a diagnostic mammogram and everything appeared fine. Breast density is scattered fibroglanfular. My gynecologist said I probably popped a vessel causing the blood, but I still see the same discharge when squeezed. Is there a reason for concern? Dr. advised to ignore if I see it again.

The most common reason for bloody discharge from the nipple is from a benign papilloma in one of the breast ducts. Green fluid comes from a cyst. I recommend seeing a breast surgeon who would be an expert in this rather than your gynecologist.
