Galactorrhea: Galactorrhea is the term for spontaneous milky discharge from the breast. There are several causes including medication side effects as well as hormonal issues. A blood test is indicated and you may also need an MRI of the head. Limit nipple stimulation to decrease the amount of discharge.
