#galactorrhea

[certifiedsexed]

Is it normal for my body to make enough prolactin to have me leak a tiny tiny bit of that white milky stuff out one of my breasts if I'm a trans guy 2 testosterone doses in? (tri menstrual shots, intramuscular nebido)

Woke up and realized that was going on (it's giving me horrible dysphoria) it's happened to me before, but before I was taking T (I did ask a doctor back then, they said it was normal but sent me to take a mammal ultrasound anyway to rule off anything and I didn't go lol)

I'm just sort of like really worried my last shot didn't work properly? it didn't feel like the first one as it was going in (I didn't feel the greasy stuff at all, it just sort of hurt-burnt like when you get a scratch) and I had a very very tiny pimple-like bump on the injection zone for like 2 weeks. I figured I'd convince myself it was alright since it did change my urine smell immediately like the first time and my period flow went down a lot; but now this happened and I'm second guessing myself like Maybe I haven't really had changes since the first dose! and stuff like that.

That'd really fucking suck if it didn't work because holy shit nebido is EXPENSIVE

Btw no chance I'm pregnant, I'm gay t4t

That's not really supposed to happen, not just because you're on testosterone. Your breasts really aren't supposed to be leaking milk period unless you're pregnant/breastfeeding.

Taking T doesn't make much of a difference, it's something that can occur regardless of that so I really don't think its because your testosterone isn't working. If this is the only reason you're worried about your testosterone, I'd rest easy.

[Though you can mention the bump on the injection zone to your doctor and ask if that's a concern! Always good to check.]

Your testosterone aside, you might want to talk to a doctor and actually do some testing for your breasts leaking if you can afford it.

Often, galactorrhea [A condition where your breasts leak milk/milk-like liquid] is a hormone issue (though not with testosterone) and it can be treated.

It can be caused by a lot of things, like a benign tumor, antidepressants, birth control pills, or even just touching your breasts excessively and it's usually a good idea to at least know what's causing it (especially since it's giving you dysphoria!) even if you don't plan on getting treated.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. <3

is it normal for your breasts to leak if you've never had kids? (17)

Hi Anon,

What you're referring to is called galactorrhea. We break the causes down into physiologic (caused by a normal physical process, usually pregnancy and lactation), pharmacologic (caused by a medicine), or pathologic (caused by an underlying disease or disorder somewhere in the body).

There are a few physiologic causes of galactorrhea in a nulligravid (never-pregnant) person, and sometimes the cause is just "idiopathic" (it's your normal but we don't know why). That said, it's not typical, and your doctor will want to rule out any pathologic causes. Most causes are totally benign (not a risk to your health), but it's good to know why it's happening.

Your doctor will want to take your medical history and ask you about your menstrual cycle, any other symptoms you might be having, as well as some questions about what the discharge is like, whether it comes from both breasts, whether you need to touch your breasts for it to come out or if it does it spontaneously, etc. Your doctor will also do an examination and a little bloodwork to see if you have hyperprolactinemia (too much of the hormone prolactin). If you do have elevated prolactin, they may want to do more bloodwork or imaging of your head to see if you have a small benign (noncancerous) tumor on the pituitary, called a prolactinoma. The treatment for this is usually just some medication. It's nothing to be afraid of.

Please let your pediatrician/doctor know the next time you see them!

Milky Nipple Discharge Without Breastfeeding?

[mcatmemoranda2]

Hmm. I have a pt with hx of PCOS who had B/L galactorrhea. I saw some milky discharge during the exam and checked her hormones. Prolactin level is normal. Apparently, you can still have galactorrhea even with normal prolactin levels and nothing needs to be done, but you could still give a PRL antagonist.

Incidence — The serum prolactin concentration is often normal in females who present with galactorrhea. In the largest series of patients presenting with galactorrhea, prolactin was normal in 46 percent. The likelihood that the prolactin is normal is even higher if menses are normal. No cause of this phenomenon has been documented, but often it represents persistent milk secretion following resolution of a previously elevated prolactin, most commonly after nursing or drug-induced hyperprolactinemia. Galactorrhea in the absence of hyperprolactinemia is not the result of any ongoing disease.

Diagnosis — The first step in diagnosis is to be sure the breast secretion is clear or milky. Green or black fluid also usually represents milk, which can be confirmed by staining the fluid for fat. Blood in the fluid is a reason for referral for evaluation of a breast tumor. If the fluid is milk, the next step is to measure the serum prolactin concentration. If the prolactin is elevated, the cause should be sought, as described above. If the prolactin is not elevated, there is no ongoing disease and no further tests are needed. Other causes of nipple discharge are discussed elsewhere.

Treatment — Galactorrhea in the absence of hyperprolactinemia usually does not need to be treated, because it is not associated with ongoing disease and it is usually not bothersome. For the unusual patient whose galactorrhea occurs spontaneously and to a degree that causes staining of the clothes, treatment with a low dose of dopamine agonist, such as 0.25 mg of cabergoline twice a week, will reduce the prolactin concentration to below normal and reduce or eliminate the galactorrhea.
