Post pregnancy when pregnancy is not there, normally women are lactating. It can be continue lactating for 2 to 3 years if women continue feeding baby. Otherwise women do not lactate. If it is the case than do blood "prolactin" level, if it is raised than you need treatment for it. It is the reason behind lactation. More breast stimulation also can increase level of prolactin. But if levels are normal than do consult with a surgeon to see properly what is problem and you may have to send secretion of breast for examination.
