Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Prob normal: There is no relationship between tubal ligation and breast milk production. It is very common for lactation to continue even months after having a baby. If you are not postpartum or if it continues you should be evaluated for other causes.
