What is galactorhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Milk from breasts: Galactorrhea is milk discharge from the breasts at a time when you don't want it, i.e. Not including post partum. There are many causes. Sometimes following a pregnancy, some milk production/secretion persists for a while even after weaning. Nipple stimulation can cause it. A pituitary tumor that makes prolactin can also cause it. See your doctor about it.
