When milk or a milky substance comes from the breast when someone is not pregnant, it is called galactorrhea (darn, these words keep getting bigger and bigger). Most often, galactorrhea is normal but should be checked out by your physician because it may be associated with the elevation of a hormone called Prolactin. This can, on occasion, be associated with an enlargement of the pituitary gland and in the rare instance that this occurs, it is important to know and follow carefully. -- Harvey S.
