When I press my breast, liquid comes out. I have been married for 2.5 months. I had an ultrasound scan and a thyroid check-up two weeks ago for abdominal pain, but the reports were normal. What could be causing this problem?

Breast discharge can be caused by elevated prolactin levels, even if your thyroid and ultrasound are normal. You should see a doctor for a blood test to check your hormone levels and determine the exact cause.

I am not pregnant. What are the implications of a prolactin level of 36.8 ng/mL or a TSH level of 3.8 mIU/L?

A prolactin level of 36.8 ng/mL is mildly elevated and may cause irregular periods or breast discharge. A TSH of 3.8 mIU/L is at the upper limit of normal and may indicate borderline thyroid underactivity, which can affect menstrual cycles (periods) and fertility.

I took Cabergoline 0.5 mg (two tablets) as advised by my gynaecologist to stop milk production, and it worked initially. However, I am now experiencing watery discharge. Should I take cabergoline again, or is there another solution?

Watery discharge can sometimes occur even after taking Cabergoline, as milk suppression may not be complete or hormones are still settling. You should not take another dose on your own. It is best to consult your doctor, who may check your prolactin levels and decide if a repeat dose or another treatment is needed.

I am 35 years old and taken Cabgolin 0.5 to stop milk pro

Your breast and back pain one week after taking cabergoline is most likely due to temporary fullness in the breast (engorgement) and your body adjusting to the hormonal changes after stopping milk production. This usually gets better on its own with supportive care like wearing a firm bra, using cold compresses, and resting your back. If the pain becomes worse, or if you notice redness, swelling, fever, or any signs of infection, it’s important to see your gynecologist promptly.

I am a 30-year-old unmarried woman, and my breast size has decreased from 36 to 34, with some milk discharge. What could be causing this?

A decrease in breast size with unexpected milk discharge may be caused by high prolactin levels, thyroid problems, or other hormonal imbalances, such as those related to polycystic ovary syndrome or oestrogen deficiency. You should see a doctor to determine the underlying cause and guide the appropriate treatment.

I have a microprolactinoma and PCOD with breast discharge. I am unmarried, and my prolactin level is 100 ng/mL. My doctor prescribed Cabgolin 0.5 Tablet daily for six weeks. Is it safe to take it regularly if I experience slight dizziness?

Yes, it is generally safe to take Cabgolin 0.5 Tablet (Cabergoline) for the prescribed duration, even if you experience slight dizziness, as this is a common side effect. Take it with food and rise slowly from sitting or lying positions. If the dizziness worsens, you faint, or experience other concerning symptoms, contact your doctor promptly.
