Avatar f tn I actually had trouble with the pill as my lactation (ugh, really NOT cool when you are a single girl with no children . . . LOL) was due to too much estrogen and many pills are estrogen based. So, you'd have to talk to your doctor to see which pill if any would work in the situation of a hormonal imbalance.
4833242 tn?1359860948 The first thing they did was check me to see if I had a small benign and harmless tumor in my pituitary gland. That is not uncommon and can cause lactation in non pregnant women. (really more like nipple discharge as I couldn't feed a baby with it). I had an MRI. I did NOT have that tumor. So, then we looked at my hormones. I had two things going on. First, I was hypothyroid. I took no medication and that resolved on its own.
Avatar n tn I think i have found that high prolactin usually goes hand in hand with high estrogen, and high estrogen can cause fibroids. I am 30 and facing needing a hysterectomy due to 4 LARGE fibroids which the docs keep telling me, "some people just grow them" without really ever checking any further. I am on a mission of sorts to learn what I can as this response does not sit well with me and i feel there has to be a root cause. HELP!
Avatar f tn It's always wise to get breast discharge or abnormal lactation checked out but would doubt it has anything to do with cancer. Women get prolactemia usually in relation to a hormonal imbalance. There is one thing that some have which is a small benign tumor in the pituitary gland. And MRI lets you know if this is the case. It's harmless in most women to have this tiny tumor but it messes up the hormones. Another is just a hormonal imbalance.
Avatar f tn when ever i feel arouse or press my breast i get milk droplets from my right breast. Its happening since few years. Recently when i had sex with my bf he played with my breast and noticed milk droplet when he pressed my right breast. Is it any hormonal imbalance or any other disease?
Avatar f tn I recommend others to research this. Not only for PPD but also to promote lactation (milk supply), boosting energy and recovering from stress, helping with recovery time after baby, stimulating the immune system, and helping with anemia among other benefits. I am excited to try this and am looking forward to the results! Again I realize it may not be for everyone but this is not a new concept by any means, only in OUR society today.
363694 tn?1239679098 i did take a test a few days ago and there was a faint line, and i took one again today and its still a very very faint line. and im curious about the lactation, i have three children and have had two m/c in the past 6 months. is it possable that this would cause early lactation? i do know its possable to have your bbs leak even when your not pregnant but coupled with all my other symptoms, im finding it very coincidental. when i miscarried in nov.
2112967 tn?1339022368 I am 27 yrs old and pregnant with my second child. I am 28 weeks along and by this time in my first pregnancy I was leaking (or lactating) and so far with this pregnancy I have yet to start leaking/lactating. Is this ok or normal? The baby is fine and is actively moving every day and every test and ultrasound I've had has been normal. Could there be some other reason as to why I haven't started leaking/lactating yet?
Avatar f tn well u can take pills to help ull have to ask ur doc and pumping before and after each feeding may help! my milk decreased from not pumping and useing a nipleshield and i never got it back to were it had been but it was enuff ! just talk to ur doctor..
Avatar f tn I haven been active in 11yrs sents my 1 child and after 11yrs I'm leaking and I'm not even sure if thats normal
541196 tn?1293552936 t actually experienced any actual lactation, however my doctor did notice that my prolactin was elevated which is what would cause the benign tumor and lactation. My doctor had me do an MRI and it also came back clear. From what I have read, it is possible to experience elevated prolactin even without the tumor. Do you know what your prolactin level was at?
Avatar f tn i was going threw the same thing but i took test after test and they should up negitive. After about 7 1/2 weeks of pain in my breast and fluid i went to the hospital for throwing up and little did I know I was pregnant wait a while and take another one okay...Hope everything works out.
Avatar n tn He loves to suck on my breast and I love it when he does its really nice. He ***** on them about everyday and well he did it today and said there was stuff coming out...Is it breast milk? Am I lactating even though I am not pregnant? Is it possible?
Avatar f tn I'm 24 weeks pregnant today and I'm only lactating from my right nipple, my left nipple is inverted, should I go docs or leave it?
8171031 tn?1399327634 I'm 22 weeks and I just noticed in one cup of my bra it's wet... is this breast milk? And if so is it normal for it to start on one side?
Avatar n tn its normal, im 32 weeks and i have the same problem and have had since week 16
Avatar n tn I'm 22 weeks and my friend said she started lactating at 20 weeks....I haven't started yet and now I'm kind of worried I'm not producing milk....should I be concerned?
Avatar f tn So I just had my first experience with leaking and I'm 17wks today. When did everyone else start?
Avatar f tn You generally don't produce milk until typically 2-5 days post partum. It's possible to produce colostrum while pregnant. Some women leak and some don't. You could try to manually express some to see if you have any if you're really concerned.
Avatar f tn I am just wondering an estimated time that I should start producing milk and see it come out. And feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
Avatar f tn I'm 33 weeks and haven't started leaking is this normal. I keep being told I should have started leaking by now. What can I do?
