Ductography is a diagnostic imaging test used to evaluate abnormal nipple discharge. It is usually recommended for women over 30 years of age with unilateral (affecting only one breast) nipple discharge. Therefore, option A is the best choice as the patient is experiencing unilateral nipple discharge. The other options are not appropriate for ductography as symptoms of mastitis and lactating are treated differently, and bilateral nipple discharge is not a typical indication for ductography.
