Hi Dina, welcome aboard
A friend of mine has had lactating problems for several years, she
doesn't have endo that she knows of, and her problem turned out to be
caused by a benign tumor on her pituitary gland. She gets it checked
regularly to monitor if its growing. This might be something to look
into if the docs haven't already done so.
Best of luck and take care
