I am experiencing milk-like discharge from my breasts even though I am not pregnant and have never been pregnant. My prolactin level is 28.7. Recently, I was treated for a lung infection and was prescribed Zevit and Sompraz D 40. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
Milk-like discharge from the breasts without pregnancy is called galactorrhea and is often related to slightly raised prolactin levels. Your prolactin level (28.7) is mildly elevated and can be influenced by stress, hormonal imbalance, or certain medicines. Sompraz D 40 may contribute, as domperidone can increase prolactin levels, while Zevit is unlikely to be the cause. You should consult a doctor for proper evaluation. Avoid frequent breast stimulation. Treatment depends on the cause, and mild cases may not need medication, but persistent symptoms may require specific treatment.
