A member asked:

I had my last child 19 months ago, had a tubel and now my left breast is lactating again? why? i never breastfed.

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ashu Syal answered

Lactation: Pregnancy is not the only reason for lactation. Several other things, hormonal imbalance ( due to pituitary tumor), malignancy in breast itself etc are some other reasons. See your gp who will do necessary tests to guide you appropriately.

Dr Enriquez and another doctor agreed
