Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

?: I am unsure of what your question is? If you are lactating and have not been pregnant, you could have a condition that is causing your body to release too much of a hormone called prolactin. You need to see your physician to be evaluated, as there are brain tumors that can cause this type of condition.
