Small Amount Of Milk Coming Out Of Breast After Stopping Feeding. Could I Be Pregnant?

I have a 15 month old she stopped nursing at 4 months but today I had a small amount of milk(or white substance) come out when my husband sucked on my breasts. Could I be pregnant? I read it could mean cancer. Is that possible? Or could it be still from my last pregnancy?

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Excessive breast stimulation, which may be associated with sexual activity, frequent breast self-exams with nipple manipulation, a skin rash on the chest or prolonged clothing friction can result in milk production. Or if you are on birth control pill, even that can result in some amount of milk production. Which is normal , not to worry.

Self examination of breast for any swellings or change in consistency. Galactorrhea need not always due to cancer.

Get pregnancy test done to confirm conception. Very difficult to predict pregnancy through symptoms.

Hope this helps you

Regards
