Prolactin is hormone: from pituitary that stimulates milk production. Prolactin levels increase with nipple stimulation, so first advice is to wear a bra that that restricts breast movement and avoid nipple stimulation with sexual foreplay. Other causes of increased prolactin are meds, other hormone imbalances, and tumor of the pituitary, so if things don't settle down in a few weeks, please see your doctor.
