HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
This can due to different possible causes, in most cases not serious, such as: (1)increased levels of a hormone called prolactin
(2)abnormalities of the thyroid hormone
(3)increased stimulation from bra, jogging etc
(4)side effect of medication eg hormonal medication
(5)mass in the breast-not the most common cause
It may be best to see your doctor to determine the exact cause.
I hope this helps
