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'm sorry to hear about the discomfort you're experiencing.

The discharge of liquid from the breast when pressed, known as nipple discharge, can have several causes. Since your recent ultrasound and thyroid tests were normal, here are some possible explanations:

  • Hormonal changes: After marriage, hormonal fluctuations can sometimes cause breast discharge even without pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Hyperprolactinemia: This is a condition where the hormone prolactin is elevated, leading to milk production. It can occur without pregnancy and may cause nipple discharge.
  • Medications or underlying conditions: Certain medications or pituitary gland issues can increase prolactin levels.
  • Infection or benign breast conditions: Sometimes infections or benign lumps can cause discharge.

A medication called Cabgolin (cabergoline) is often used to treat high prolactin levels by reducing prolactin production. It helps stop unwanted milk secretion and regulates hormonal imbalances. However, this should only be taken under a doctor’s prescription and supervision.

What you should do next:

  • Consult an endocrinologist or a gynecologist who can evaluate your symptoms further.
  • They may order blood tests to check prolactin levels and possibly imaging of the pituitary gland.
  • Avoid pressing the breast frequently to prevent irritation.
  • Share your full medical history and any medications you are taking with your doctor.

If you experience additional symptoms like breast pain, lumps, or changes in the discharge (color, amount), seek medical advice promptly.
