Boob Lactating

RE:

My right boob has been lactating for 3 months, not pregnant?

One day I randomly squeezed my right breast and a tiny bit of white stuff came out. I did it again a couple times then it stopped. After a while I tried again and it did it more. It has been doing this for at least 3 months and only on my right one. I'm not pregnant I've had a regular...

Sometimes women will notice discharge from one or both nipples. This prompts concern, especially if she has not recently breast fed. Generally bilateral, white or clear discharge , which is only present with nipple stimulation (eg squeezing), is likely to be ?normal.? Being on oral contraceptives can sometimes enhance normal breast discharge. Certain psychiatric medications?especially the antipsychotics ?can initiate nipple discharge. Bilateral, spontaneous lactation can be prompted by a pituitary problem, or hypothyroidism. Both low thyroid and elevated prolactin (from the pituitary gland) can be checked for using simple blood tests. Given that your nipple discharge is of new onset I would suggest that you see your GYN or clinic for a clinical breast exam. One, or both, of the two blood tests (TSH and prolactin) might be performed to rule out thyroid or pituitary causes.

This may be serious. Go to a doctor immediately. White fluid from the breast, without having had a child, nor pregnant, may be a sign of breast cancer, but not necessarily though. It's suspicious that only one breast is involved.

Possible causes of nipple discharge include:

Abscess

Breast cancer

Breast infection

Excessive breast stimulation

Fibroadenoma

Fibrocystic breasts

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)

Galactorrhea

Hormone imbalance

Injury or trauma to the breast

Intraductal papilloma

Mammary duct ectasia

Medication use

Paget's disease of the breast

Pregnancy

Prolactinoma

Lactation can occur without pregnancy. Strangely enough, even in men.

keep trying the breastfeeding. It's the best thing you can do for baby. Formula is garbage.
