Milk discharges from Breast

Asked for Female, 40 years

It’s been 8 years since I stopped breastfeeding my child. In all these 8 years I have had milk discharge from my breasts off and on. I consulted different doctors at different times regarding this issue. Almost all of them asked me to get my prolactin level checked. Everytime the results came out to be normal. Still they used to give me medicine for prolactin. After taking that medicine the milk discharge used to stop for a few months but it always starts again after sometime.

Dear Patient,

Milk production and discharge are related to excess prolactin levels. Hence even if the levels are normal, the doctors choose to treat it.
You can discuss your case with a breast surgeon, who can run some tests and see if there is any issue in the breast causing this however most probably the only way forward would be to check and treat prolactin levels.
