Patient's question:
Can the nipple express milk, what is the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, women who are not pregnant or have not delivered but are lactating, or those who have stopped breastfeeding more than six months ago but continue to lactate, regardless of whether they have other obvious discomforts, are considered to be within the pathological range. Common causes include hyperprolactinemia, hyperplasia of the breast, fibroadenomas, etc. If there are no hard lumps in the breast, hyperprolactinemia should be primarily considered, which is mainly characterized by lactation, menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, infertility, weight gain, etc. It is recommended that you visit the gynecology department of a hospital in the near future for related examinations such as hormone 6 tests and breast ultrasound. If necessary, a brain CT scan should be performed to rule out the possibility of a pituitary tumor and identify the cause for symptomatic treatment.
