If milk comes out of your breasts and you are not pregnant or you are not in breastfeeding, then this condition is called galactorrhea.This is not a disease. But it could be a symptom of any health issue.

1.If a hormonal imbalance occurs in our body, due to which the prolactin level becomes high in our body and what happens when the prolactin level is high is that our milk producing hormone becomes very active.

2.There is a small unusual, non cancerous tumor in the brain which we call a tumor as pituitary gland ( prolactinoma ).

3.If we have thyroid disorders, especially low thyroid hormone it can effect.

4.If we are taking some medicines for a long time like anti-depression medicines, antipsychotics medicines, high blood pressure medicines, birth control pills, this can also be an issue.

5.Stress can also disturb our hormonal levels to a great extent.

6.If there is any injury or something in our nipple, that can also have an effect.

7.Herbal supplements also affect such as fenugreek and fennel.

8.Even if we are very ill for a very long time, like if we have kidney disease or liver disease, then also we have some balance.

SOLUTIONS AND TREATMENT

1.You have to go to a gynecologist or endocrinologist doctor and after that the doctor will give you something blood test to check the prolactin level or thyroid function. There will be a pregnancy test also and a brain scan can also be done, That will be for the pituitary gland.

2.Your treatment will depend on the blood test. If your prolactin level is high, then you will be given medicines to reduce it. If you have thyroid issues then the doctor will give you medicines accordingly and the tumor usually occurs in very rare cases and if it occurs, then there is only one solution for it, which is surgery.

WHEN TO WORRY

If your discharge is bloody or yellowish or greenish, then this can be a cause of concern. Or if it is happening in only one breast, then this can also be a cause of concern. If there are any lumps in your breast, some skin changes are happening and there is pain, then you should immediately contact the doctor.
