TOP-5 reasons for spontaneous lactation after breastfeeding

Any discharge from the nipples should be a reason for going to the doctor, so do not delay with a visit to your doctor.

As for galactorrhea, it occurs in women for various reasons.

• Any breast stimulation 

In sensitive women, spontaneous lactation sometimes began after gynecological examinations or surgical procedures. All this contributes to an increase in prolactin, which is responsible for the formation of milk.

This also includes chest injuries, burns, shingles, and chronic stress.

• Taking medications

Potentially dangerous doctors call oral contraceptives, psychotropic drugs and, of course, drugs.

• Pituitary tumor

Do not panic if the doctor informs you about the formation in the pituitary gland, this is common and does not pose a fatal threat to a woman.

We are talking about a benign (non-cancerous) formation.

• Hormonal problems

Spontaneous lactation is included in the list of symptoms of primary hypothyroidism or thyrotoxicosis.

• Elevated prolactin levels

If the analysis shows that prolactin is more than necessary, you should look for a problem in the kidneys, sometimes this happens against the background of chronic organ failure.
