Lactating
Posted: 08-31-04 13:53pm

I've never had a baby but i'm lactating. I was diaganosed 2 years ago with behects disease. I take birth control and colchicine. Not pregnant. My breasts have been sore for a couple of weeks. When the nipple is squeezed white milk comes out. More the right than the left. What the heck is this??????? Question

Well I dont know about the meds you're on, but at different times in my cycle I can squeeze my nipples and get a white milky fluid out as well. Ive been able to do this for the last 3 years (im 21), dont know whats with it. Lol are you actually lactating, as in your bra gets wet, or is it just when you squeeze you get a little bit?

Ive asked my Dr. About it before. She says its fine, just at certain times in our cycles with different hormonal changes a very small amount of fluid can be produced and forced out. Its all good.

A little fluid from squeezing your nipple is okay,having enough to call it lactation is not!Is it just a little fluid or do you have flowing fluid,like lactation??There's a huge difference!Patty

All I know is that part of your self breast exam is squeezing the nipples. And if any fluid whatsoever comes out you are suppose to go see your doc asap is it is not normal.. That is all I know.
