Hi dear and thanks for your query.
This issue is called bilateral galactorrhea and the most common reason for it is prolactionoma or benign tumor that cause increase of a hormone called prolactin.
Prolactin is is responsible for milky discharge from your both breast .
Get a consult with an endocrinologist with a prolactin level done .
If it is increased you may need for treatment.
If it is decreased than doctor should explore for another reason.
All the best
