Patient's question:
Hello, I asked this question last month the 19th (I had breast enlargement due to pregnancy in the past two months, but now I have had an abortion, why are my breasts still swollen and there is something like milk leaking out (more when squeezed hard), what could be the reason, and how can it be resolved?Later, the doctor told me that as long as I actively strengthen nutrition and take good care of myself, it should be fine. But it's still there today. I've been quite tired lately with the move, is it because of that that it hasn't healed yet, or is there something else? First question supplement: What specific care should be done?
Doctor's answer:
Galactorrhea is an abnormal phenomenon where milk is secreted outside of the lactation period. It can be caused by certain physiological conditions, or it may result from medication or adverse stimuli. Therefore, when this condition occurs, in addition to maintaining breast hygiene, it is also necessary to identify the underlying cause and provide targeted treatment. If there are other discomforts besides swelling, it is best to seek medical attention, undergo a prolactin (PRL) level test, thyroid function examination, and X-ray imaging. The doctor will determine the appropriate treatment based on your condition. If it is caused by medication, the drug should be stopped immediately; if it is due to primary hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone should be administered; for pituitary tumors, surgery is the primary treatment, supplemented by radiotherapy; if no clear cause is found, the doctor may prescribe bromocriptine or levodopa, or try artificial cycles or high-dose vitamin B6.
