Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I stopped breastfeeding two years ago. Is it normal to still get breast milk out of my breast when I squeeze it? Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
No, it is not normal to get breast milk discharge after a gap of two years Most likely it is caused by:
Galactorrhea- a condition where a person's breasts produce milk outside of pregnancy or breastfeeding. The causes of Galactorrhea are
1: Idiopathic (unknown cause)
2: Drugs (anti-psychotic and anti-depressant drugs)
3: Tumor prolactinoma (noncancerous tumor in the pituitary gland that produces too much prolactin).
The signs and symptoms of Galactorrhea are:
Investigation are:
Treatment:
Tablet Bromocriptine 20 mg two times a day for ten days.
I assure if you take the medication accordingly the symptoms will disappear. I would appreciate it if you could give your feedback.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
