Hello!
Thanks for your query.
You dont to worry so much because milk discharge from both breast isnt sign of breast cancer.
Galactorrhea without breastfeeding can be due to dysregulation of certain hormones or local causes such as excessive nipple stimulation.
Hormonal causes most frequently associated with galactorrhea are hyperprolactinemia and hypothalamic conditions with elevated levels of Thyroid-Releasing hormone TRH hormones.
Galactorrhea is also a side effect associated with the use of antipsycotics and cimetidine .
You need to consult with your GP to determine who is the cause of your galactorrhea.
