can milk form in the breast of a women who is not pregnant?!
Question:
Answers:
It may not be milk. Because your breast is a gland, secretions from your nipples aren't unusual, even for women who've never been pregnant.
Fortunately, nipple discharge usually isn't associated with cancer (malignancy). Several conditions could be responsible for the secretions. In some cases, nipple discharge does require treatment and may not go away on its own. Discover what might cause nipple discharge, and how your doctor will find and treat the underlying cause.

Yes, are you on any medications? Alot of things can effect female hormones.
Yes- it sure can. This can either be caused because of a hormonal imbalance, or a woman can induce lactation. Besides being a nurse, doula, etc I am also a lactation consultant and I specialize in induced lactation. The key to induction is stimulation. The body works on a supply and demand basis, so the more you stimulate, the more you produce. There are two ways of inducing- with or without medication. If you choose the non-medication route, you have to be strict with a schedule of stimuation, the optimum being every 3-4 hours for a maximum of 30 min. Most these days use a medication called domperidone, along with a schedule of stimulation. After they have at least drops, then they add certain herbs to also help with increasing the flow.
