How is galactorrhea treated?

Patient's question:

I have had bilateral nipple discharge for over 10 years. During this period, I underwent a brain CT scan, and the results showed no abnormalities. I also had a nipple secretion test, which also revealed no issues. I don't know the cause, but as soon as I gently squeeze my nipples, clear, colorless liquid flows out.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, nipple discharge refers to the natural leakage of fluid from the nipple without manual squeezing. First, it is essential to determine the nature of the nipple discharge. Based on clinical symptoms, if it is caused by systemic diseases, one should assess the overall endocrine activity. If it is related to breast conditions, imaging tests such as mammography, ductography, ultrasound, cytology, and ductoscopy may be performed. After a definitive diagnosis is made, further treatment can be initiated.
