Could be a problem: I doubt this has anything to do with the partial hysterectomy but leakage from the nipples in a woman who has not recently had a baby may be a sign of elevated level of the pituitary hormone prolactin, either from certain meds or from a benign pituitary tumor. She needs her doc to order a prolactin test and if too high she will need to be referred to an endocrinologist
