A member asked:
Is it possible for a non pregnant woman to start to lactate without medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lactation: Yes. This could be due to a prolactin-secreting tumor of the pituitary gland called a prolactinoma. It causes irregular or absent menses and galactorrhea- breast discharge.
