A member asked:

What are the consequenses of galactorrhea caused by nipple stimulation ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It means: you have increased your prolactin, which can lead to weight gain, abnormal periods, etc. over long term, but that is generally only with much higher elevations than you can achieve with nipple stimulation. Enjoy.
