Very odd, got worried at weekend as i noticed milk from nipple (just a little but a little squeeze and there was plenty, sorry TMI) dashed out and bought a test (not been trying, no more DC planned) but negative. Have googled of course and seen stuff about pituatry (sp?) glands and tiny tumours and stuff. Go to GP? Feel a bit odd as I am well! Some of the other symptoms match too- headaches and loss of libido

Yes, to the GP with you.

Try not to worry. And NO MORE GOOGLING

Probably worth running it by your GP. Can be normal, can be a side effect of some medicines, but this is the first milk you have noticed for a while, worth getting checked out.

I had this from time to time - elevated prolactin - part of my weird hormonal profile connected with PCOS.
Bosoms' advice is sound

PardonMyClench · 05/07/2010 22:57

Hyperprolactinaemia - high prolactin levels; if you have headaches as well , you need examiantion and particualrly that of your visual fields - eyesight.

Do you take any meds?
