Hi,
Elevated prolactin levels evident in your blood test is probably the cause of altered menstruation and breast secretions. The root cause of elevated prolactin level such as prolactinomas (tumor of the pituitary gland) should be identified and treated. Bromocriptine should be started in order to reduce the prolactin levels. CT or MRI brain should be done to rule out any tumors.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
