I am recently married 2 months ago and have been sexually active since then. Few days before I saw milk coming from my wife's nipples. Obviously she is not pregnant and we got it checked from the doctors. Doctor says that it is because of hormonal changes. Can you please help me out as to how is she getting milk from her nipples when we have been sexually just 2 month ago. Can you help me out with a possible reason for this problem?

The phenomenon of milk secretion from the nipples when a woman is not pregnant or breastfeeding is known as galactorrhea. Galactorrhea can have various causes, and hormonal changes are one of them. While it's not uncommon for some women to experience nipple discharge due to hormonal fluctuations, it's crucial to determine the specific cause in your wife's case. Possible causes of galactorrhea include: hormonal changes: fluctuations in hormone levels, such as elevated prolactin, can lead to milk production. Medications: certain medications, such as some antipsychotics, antidepressants, and medications that affect hormone levels, may cause galactorrhea. Thyroid disorders: imbalances in thyroid hormones can contribute to nipple discharge. Pituitary gland issues: disorders affecting the pituitary gland, which regulates hormones, may lead to galactorrhea. Stress and emotional factors: psychological factors can sometimes influence hormonal balance and lead to nipple discharge. It's essential for your wife to follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation. The doctor may order additional tests, such as blood tests or imaging studies, to identify the underlying cause of the galactorrhea. Regards, Dr. Ms. haque.
