A member asked:

I am having an issue with breast tenderness and hardness and swelling. i believe i am lactating, however there is no need as i am no longer pregnant. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See GYN MD: If you are concerned about inappropriate breast milk swelling or lactation, your GYN MD can perform a prolactin blood test to determine if that is confirmed. This problem, if true, can be treated with an oral medication.
