A member asked:

Why would my breast be leaking milky cream stuff and my breast is tender?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prolactin hormone: When the hormone prolactin is secreted from the pituitary gland in the brain inappropriately then a milk like breast discharge will occur. A MD can run a blood test to check on the value of this hormone and treat it if prolactin is elevated.
