Patient's question:
I have a female colleague who has been breastfeeding her child since she was in her twenties until she is almost fifty. If she drinks some bone soup or fish soup, her breasts still feel swollen, and her milk production is also abundant. Why is this? Is it a medical condition?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, there is a phenomenon of significant lactation after weaning. This lactation is mainly caused by hormonal regulation in the body. Long-term occurrence does not rule out abnormal hormonal regulation or brain diseases. It is recommended to undergo hormone testing, as well as a head CT or MRI. Pay attention to nutritional supplementation in daily life, avoid spicy foods, and avoid alcohol.
