Could my irregular periods, nausea, loss of appetite, breast pain, and milky breast discharge be signs of menopause, especially given my diabetes and thyroid conditions, and what steps should I take next?
While irregular periods and breast changes can occur during perimenopause, the milky breast discharge is not a typical symptom. Given your thyroid condition, this discharge and irregular periods could be related to elevated prolactin levels, which thyroid imbalances can trigger. Diabetes can also impact your menstrual cycle. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with your healthcare provider or endocrinologist. They can perform simple blood tests to check your hormone and thyroid levels to find the exact cause and help you feel much better.
