Please have her: See her gyn , she may have galatorrhea which needs a workup , she will need a prolactin level drawn by the doctor and if it is elevated she may need an MRI to r/o pituitary tumor and she can get started on a med like Parlodel (bromocriptine) to lower the prlactin.

Galactorrhea: She probably has galactorrhea (breast milk expression). If she is not pregnant, she will need a work up done such as prolactin level check. If that is elevated, an MRI of the brain will need to be performed. One way or the other, talk to your local doc about having a work up done.

As described...: One would have to consider this to be galactorrhea- often due to high prolactic level could be a growth in pituitary gland ( not cancer) that often can be treated with medications.
