its a hormone problem. See an endocrinologist. Not a GP. They are worthless
Can I get to meet you? I noticed that I was lactating the first time I was sexually aroused and that was about 14 years ago. I was not really concerned about it cos I was quite young. As time passed by, I started noticing some fluid substance on my nipple sometimes wet other times dry. Now I have gotten married for 3 years without conceiving. Although, I have done a test which revealed that my prolactin is on the high side (21.478 ng/ml (1-16) . A drug was prescribed but am still kind of scared. Can something else be done to help my situation?
If you've started new medication you might want to research as some medication causes lactation. You can also ask you MD for a prolactic blood test

I am lactating with serious pain in my breasts. The pain and swelling in my glands goes down for about a week or two (if I'm lucky) after my period, sometimes it doesn't go away at all. I'm also weak, fatigued, abdominal pain, nauseous, headaches, blue and white flashes of light designated to a tiny dot, blurry vision, moody, depressed and anxious. I am a single mother caring for a small child and the symptoms have forced me to file for disability. I have been dealing with the pain, depression and fatigue issues since about 12 years old but the past two years the lactating and pain in breasts started and all the other issues got worse. My doctors keep telling me it's in my head and send me packing. HELP!!! I would give anything for some relief and to be able to go back to work!

Please answer this since you seem to know? I am 42 with a paraguard for two years. I am a week late and very sexually active. I noticed im lactating. Is this menapause?
Hello! Do you have a website where you describe how to treat hormonal imbalances alternatively or could you recommend any? I am very interested. Thank you
glad you posted I'm only lactating a small amount during menstruation but it has happened only the past 3 months. My areola gets itchy and I feel a little pressure and feel like I need to squeeze and drain them.
I'm about to lose my uterus and ovaries, there's no point in posting here, nobody answers the question. I'm STILL lactating, have severe hormonal disruption but my doctor says there's no point in hormone tests as your hormones change daily. I think she's a kook.
Get her thyroid function checked. I started lactating at 14 (having never had sex) after many tests and scans they thought I had a pituitary tumour, luckily before they operated someone suggested they check my thyroid, I was under active, with the correct medication it was all sorted out. I'm now 41 with 2 beautiful kids.
Ok hi, lately ive been freaking out . I do stress a lot but this year I made sure to not stress as much which has helped a lot . here's a little story and I'm wondering if it's gonna go away soon or if there's a possibility I actually am preg . so what I did. Was I had intrecorse with a guy sorry plz don't judge but it was me n and girlfriend of ten years that did so. Well I get very afraid of pregnancy but we took some precautions but also there could of been a chance that he could of ejaculated some inside me . I took the plan b and didn't think of anything until my Cuzin got pregnant and she didn't know until the day of labor. So I started thinking about it again . I really got scared I took 3 tests now and all negative . but I took 2 when I was in my period which the doctor said was ok. First one was normal but taken at night instead of the morning .came back negative. But then I started gaining weight some which I thought I was getting my appetite back cuz of my practice of not being so stressed out. I normally don't have much intrecorse or any actions with a male... But after I started to lactate a little not a whole lot my breast were sore but aren't now. I got my period again which is irregular was really really heavy this time just like it was right after intrecorse I happened to get it. So what I'm tryna get at is the lack of not being with a guy have a little bit to do with it ? And how fast will it go away? Or do I need to check with the doctor again ?? When I did talk with the doctor he said if the tests came back positive I would be about 6 weeks ... But all 3 were negative....plz help me !!!
I'm wondering if you'd have any advice for me then. I lactate before periods. My husband and I were trying I have been through every single test possibly and my hormone levels are fine throughout my cycles I'm usually on the day 28 days . Yet no tumors nothing and I lactate? I'm not pregnant but I have had a child 3 years ago.
I did have enlarged pituitary gland that caused lactation and was shrunk down with meds. That was 15 years ago. I now lactate when squeezed but it's black, then clears up. I'm freaking out. Any ideas? Dr says I'm fine but they haven't checked anything
I'm 54 for the last 6 months my breast are lactating during sex. It's use to happen when I, was a teenager.
For me it was chocolate doing it.
