Estrogen in breast milk
Common Questions and Answers about Estrogen in breast milk

Dear tgim, Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is an area (or areas) of abnormal cell growth that increases a person’s risk of developing invasive breast cancer later on in life. Lobular means that the abnormal cells start growing in the lobules, the milk-producing glands at the end of breast ducts. Carcinoma refers to any cancer that begins in the skin or other tissues that cover internal organs — such as breast tissue.
Well, prolactemia is a common occurrence when a woman has a hormonal imbalance. Producing just a bit too much estrogen can cause this. I agree with above that it is not milk production from a pregnancy (and when you had an abortion, it was simply the shifting of your hormones and not milk production and am very surprised your doctor gave you 'pills to dry it up". That is an odd diagnosis as most women who are truly lactating begin milk production AFTER the birth).
In all seriousness-As a 39 yo mom of 3 with my tubes tied, you can imagine my surprise when I realized I'm producing milk! Is it true that it can be an early sign of breast cancer???
But giving up all dairy products is just smart. All dairy cows produce a lot of estrogen just to produce milk. Forget the fact that they are given de-wormers, antibiotics, growth hormones and such. And animal estrogen isn't a good thing. Then there comes the debate about phytoestrogens in plants. Soy for instance .... so many studies and so many different answers! Keep everything in moderation and you will do well.
I actually take a drug called neurontin for hot flashes.
The vast majority are benign breast tumor that may appear at any age,but they are more common in women in their twenties and thirties.These benign lumps,are not related to breast cancer and are known to increase in size and tenderness in relation to the menstrual cycles due to hormonal changes.In many cases fibroadenomas could go away on their own within a few years.
The development of these tumors is probably related to reproductive hormones.
the process requires first stimulation of the breast tissue by the hormones of pregnancy (estrogen, progesterone, human placental lactogen), as well as your own hormones (prolactin, thyroid, insulin), and second the hormones of pregnancy must fall rapidly, as occurs after the placenta separates at birth. at this point the breasts become tremendously engorged, and then they start to release milk when they are stimulated and/or when you see, hear or smell your baby.
I have some info on my profile about breastfeeding as a form of birth control. It's in my 'journals'. My midwife told me that estrogen free birth control is the safest while nursing. Estrogen can dry up your milk and if it doesn't, might cause issues with baby. Estrogen free versions include the paragaurd iud, the depo shot, and the 'mini pill' (progesterone only daily pill). I'd definitely decide what you want to do before baby comes!
This generally happens for two reasons which include a hormonal imbalance such as your body making too much estrogen or due to a small, benign (non cancerous) tumor in the pituitary gland. I had the same issue you are having. I was 'lactating' when not pregnant. I went through an MRI to make sure I did not have the pituitary tumor which I did not but blood work revealed the hormone imbalance.
Im 18 and im not having my period for 5 mths but now im having my period but i have no idea why my breast is swollen and its leaking milk. Am i having breast cancer symptoms?
I don't think its breast milk, is in both breasts? Can you seek medical advise? what did your mom say?
Hi, that might not be milk, like breast milk for babies. Sometimes when our hormones are out of sync, we get this. I had it. It's called prolactemia. They first checked my pituitary gland for a small (NON DANGEROUS IF someone has it) tumor through MRI. I didn't have one so they also checked my hormone levels and I produced too much estrogen. My thyroid was also slow. All of that equates to a hormone imbalance and why I had the nipple discharge if I expressed or squeezed it.
I am 31 years old and am experiencing pain in my right breast that goes to my armpit and down my arm. The doctors have done an exam and 2 different doctors felt a small lump but mammogram & ultrasound revealed nothing. I haven't had my cycle for 7 months and I am not sexually active. I need some direction and ideas here. The last doctor thinks it has to do with my hormones but I am wondering if the hormones have something to do with the lump and pain.
Hi,
I am new to this website. After giving it deep thought and consideration I have purchased the breast enhancement pill from 'breast actives'. It retails as the number one breast enhancement pill out there in the market. I haven't started taking them as I am waiting for my exams to be over by next week.
Four months ago I had my first mammogram at 43 and the found abnormal tissue in my right breast. I went for a biopsy and it was found to be fine no cancer cells but today I notice my right breast was a little damp as I laid across my bed so I squeezed mt breast and a yellowish green fluid came out. Should
i be worried?
U can get the mini pill or iud I don't think u can use anything wit hormones in it.
LCIS, also known as lobular neoplasia or stage 0 breast cancer, occurs when abnormal cells accumulate in the breast lobules. Each breast has hundreds of milk producing lobules, which are connected to the milk ducts. In LCIS, the abnormal cells are often found throughout the breast lobules and both breasts are affected about 30 percent of the time.
This is a non-cancerous condition which results when portions of the breast gland grow abnormally large because of excessive sensitivity to estrogen (the female hormone) stimulation. Cancer usually appears as solid masses or calcified nodules, not cysts, which are fluid-containing lumps. Fibrocystic disease is not "normal", but it doesn't usually cause problems other than intermittent discomfort and pain particularly as menstruation approaches.
Pumping while pregnant won't cause your milk to come in early...
Hi I ve had a lump under my right nipple for about a year i went to the hospital to get medical advice and the doctor told me that it was prolly nothing and that it was prolly just a hormone imbalance, but i am not convinced of that because it actually its very sore to touch and causes me pain all day at work every since a year ago and it leaks a clear fluid that doesnt look like normal breast milk that would be produced if i did have a hormonal imbalance i also leak fluid (slightly through the
While taking both of these I was able to give my baby breast milk till he was 8 months since there was almost 3 months of backstock frozen in my freezer. I lost my milk at 5 months because a mom sent her kid to daycare sick with flu and my son caught the flu and stopped latching.
Was able to fill 2 8oz bottles in one pumping.
Hope this helps out.
