Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion there must be some kind of tumors producing prolactin production in your body.

Prolactin us the hormone which is responsible for the secretion of milk in mother. Since you have not given birth to baby such hormone causes watery discharge in you.

I advice you should be thoroughly examined by your physician. Also radiological evaluation is important role in detecting the tumour site.

Radical therapy like excision of tumors or control through drugs can be decided later once the diagnosis is confirmed.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
