    Breast Discharge(Continued)
    Okay, so in my previous question, I asked if my milk breast discharge was a cause of me being pregnant or if my hormone prolactin(mabye) was high or whatnot. Well, I got both of those test results back, and pregnancy came back negative, and the hormone came back normal. I just finished my period, and my breats are still producing and leaking milk. I am extremely scared and confused on what it could be. Can someone please give me any honest opinion on what it could be?

    Thank you.

    One condition that can produce a milky or clear discharge is galactorrhoea, where an imbalance of hormones within the body can stimulate secretion.

    Certain medication may be to blame, particularly those used in treatments for some psychiatric problems, but thyroid disorders and very occasionally small benign brain tumours of the pituitary gland can lead to milk production.

    The discharge, you say, is definitely breast milk, which is reassuring because the investigation of any blood-stained discharge would be more urgent.

    My advice would be to see your doctor to undergo a breast examination and to start some simple tests to see which of the above possibilities could be responsible for your symptoms. On the face of it, it does not sound like anything to worry unduly about.
