Dr. Mirela Cernaianu answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Galactorrhea: Production of milk outside pregnancy of lactation is not normal and it usually means you have an elevated prolactin level or a thyroid problem. It could be a reaction to a medication you might be taking. You should see a doctor.
