Lactation, but not pregnant?!


Question:

Lactation, but not pregnant?

I noticed that my girlfriend has recently started to lactate during foreplay. However, she took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. What could cause this? She has an appointment for the doctor, but I wanted to see if anyone else had this happen. She is not on birth control nor does she take any medications.


Answers:

She will have bloodwork done to check her prolactin levels. They will more than likely be elevated, and then she may be sent for an MRI scan to check her pituitary gland.

I went through lactation without pregnancy back in '05. My prolactin levels were up, my gyn sent me for the MRI, which showed a small tumor on my pituitary gland. Rest assured, this is something benign, completely harmless. In some cases a medication is needed to lower the prolactin levels, however, in my case, it went down on its own.
