A member asked:

Why haven't my breasts dried up after having my second child that i never breast fed that is 19 months old now ? and what can i do?

Check prolactin: Please see your doctor to check if you may have elevation in prolactin. This may be causing your symptoms and would warrant a MRI to look for a pituitary adenoma. Prolactinomas are medically treated.
