Breast leak

I am not pregnant or have a baby and I have discharge from my breasts. It appears when the nipples are pressed and is transparent.

Actually, I have no other symptoms. I am 33 years old, I do not use contraception. ~ Greta

Each discharge appearing in the nipple requires a diagnosis (of course, the one that occurs outside of pregnancy and lactation, as in your case). It may be associated with the presence of cyst in the breast, it may be associated with high levels of prolactin in the blood serum, it may have an inflammatory background. The management depends on what is found during the examination, which should include palpation by a doctor, breast ultrasound, possibly culture of the secretion and determination of the serum PRL level. If it is a small cyst, it is enough to observe it – monitor it by ultrasound, if the cause is inflammation, then you should take an antibiotic, if high levels of PRL are drugs that block its secretion. However, this has to be decided by the doctor.
