I am 49 and usually have a few days of bleeding when I have my period, one being heavy. This time it was extra heavy and I have a creamy discharge from both nipples when squeezed. Is this normal?

This is common as the menopause approaches but it is also a good idea to get any breast changes checked out by your doctor as well.
