Why does the nipple secrete fluid

Patient's question:

Onset time: October 21
Laboratory test results: None

Doctor's answer:

Hello, post-weaning galactorrhea is a common phenomenon. It is recommended that you first investigate the endocrine-related causes. If endocrine factors are ruled out as the cause of galactorrhea, you should pay attention to the following:
1. Drink less water and consume less soup during meals, which can help reduce milk production.
2. If milk secretion is particularly abundant, you can use some medications to promote weaning. For example, traditional Chinese medicine methods: brewing and drinking sprouted wheat, which has minimal side effects on the body; Western medicine methods: appropriately supplementing estrogen, which can inhibit prolactin to some extent, or using drugs like bromocriptine, which inhibits prolactin by suppressing pituitary secretion. Estrogen tablets (5 mg per dose, 3 times a day) and vitamin B6 (1 tablet per dose, 3 times a day) should be taken together for three days.
