Patient's question:
In 2014, the supply was completed. By the end of June 2015, there was again leakage from the right breast. I went to the hospital for tests on prolactin and ultrasound, but everything was fine. The doctor recommended brewing barley and wheat sprouts to drink. After drinking them for a few days, I noticed no more leakage. However, today I noticed leakage from the right breast again. Recently, I’ve been experiencing some emotional turbulence and have also been taking gynecological anti-inflammatory medication. Could this be related to emotions and endocrine issues?Doctor's answer:
Nipple inflammation with galactorrhea is related to the endocrine system. The imbalance of estrogen and progesterone in the body may be the cause, possibly due to excessively high prolactin levels. It's important to pay attention to this and consider appropriate self-care. Avoid intentionally squeezing or pressing the nipples to see how to alleviate the symptoms and maintain good hygiene. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
