Why is my breast leaking milk...?!


Question:

Why is my breast leaking milk...?

This morning my breast started leaking milk but there is no way I could be pregnant. I have a daughter but she is 2 now and I stopped breastfeeding her when she was 6 months. What could this mean?

I am not on medications and it's in only one breast.


Answers:

It could mean you have a growth in a duct beneath the nipple if it is only on one side, but if you can express mild from both sides, it suggests a hormonal problem. Prolactin causes mild production, and sometimes it is elevated because of a pituitary tumor. You should see a doctor either way.
