Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 28-year-old female and weigh 158 lbs. I am not married or pregnant. Recently, I have been having a problem of breast leakage, and during intercourse, my boyfriend has also shared the same concern. It is embarrassing and alarming at the same time. What could be the reason?

Answered by Dr. Meeta Bansal

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This should be definitely investigated. I would advise you to do a serum prolactin test first.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Is this anything serious? Can it be due to weight gain? Do I need to take any precautions about it?

Answered by Dr. Meeta Bansal

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I do not think it is serious, but definitely, diagnosis is a must. It may not be related to weight gain. It can be cured. Do not worry.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
