Galactorrhea
Galactorrhea is a condition characterized by the spontaneous flow of milk or a milk-like discharge from the breasts, unrelated to childbirth or nursing. It can occur in both men and women and may be caused by hormonal imbalances, certain medications, or underlying health issues such as pituitary tumors.
The condition is often linked to elevated levels of the hormone prolactin, which stimulates milk production. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, medical history review, and possibly blood tests or imaging studies to identify the underlying cause. Treatment options vary based on the cause and may include medication or lifestyle changes.
