Hi
I can understand your concern.

Milk secretion (galactorrhea) along with breast tenderness can occur following the abortion. This is due to excess production of hormone Prolacting.

I would advise you to consult your doctor for the treatment which may involve the use of drugs like Bromocriptine or Cabergoline which are effective in suppressing the production of the hormone Prolactine and thus milk secretion.
Make sure that there are contraindication to these medications like liver or kidney disease.
Hope the suggestion given above could be useful.

A feed back is appreciated.
