Patient's question:
I am an unmarried woman. A few months ago, my breasts were very painful, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it was nothing serious and that after taking two bottles of medicine, the pain went away. However, I then discovered that squeezing both breasts can produce white milk. Why is this?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition:Suggestions: Hello, based on your description, it is recommended to have a timely check on sex hormones, as there may be a possibility of hyperprolactinemia. Due to the unstable secretion of prolactin, it can vary under the influence of different physical conditions, such as sleep, mood, depression, stress, exercise, sexual activity, hunger, and post-meal. These factors may temporarily elevate prolactin levels. To rule out these influencing factors, blood prolactin levels are generally measured by fasting blood draw between 9 and 10 a.m.
