Galactorrhea: Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/galactorrhea/basics/definition/con-20025628 to learn more about galactorrhea which is "milky nipple discharge unrelated to the normal milk production of breast-feeding". Tell your Family Doc about this and get blood tested for Prolactin. If elevated, consider pituitary MRI. Should also review your medications & dietary supplements w/your doc.
