Debbie,
The way that my bc was found was from having a discharge. I pushed it aside and tried to ignore it because men just don't get bc. Told myself that it must be a cyst or something. After about 3 months of it getting worse and more frequent my wife made me see the doc. I was in surgery 3 days later.
Just telling you my experience. Since you are female I would lean more towards another issue than I had. It is HIGHLY unusual for man to have a discharge though, or so I have learned, LOL
