Can I have breast milk if I'm not pregnant?

When a woman becomes pregnant, her breasts will produce milk, because milk contains a lot of nutrients. So when a baby is born, the first food he eats is his mother's breast milk. Eating more breast milk is very good for the baby, and breast milk has the most nutritional value. It is the most natural, pollution-free, and most beneficial food for the baby. So, if you are not pregnant, will you have milk?

1. In the absence of pregnancy, milk secretion is a pathological phenomenon, and this disease is called "hyperprolactinemia". Patients with hyperprolactinemia, in addition to galactorrhea, often also have varying degrees of menstrual disorders. Severe cases may even experience symptoms such as amenorrhea, hair loss, weight gain, headache, visual impairment, and genital atrophy, forming a group of diseases with galactorrhea, amenorrhea, and infertility as the main manifestations, also known as "galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome."

3. The secretion of milk by non-pregnant women is also called "hyperprolactinemia". Patients with hyperprolactinemia, in addition to galactorrhea, are often accompanied by varying degrees of menstrual disorders. In severe cases, they may even experience symptoms such as amenorrhea, hair loss, weight gain, headache, visual impairment, and genital atrophy, forming a group of diseases with galactorrhea, amenorrhea, and infertility as the main manifestations, also known as "galactorrhea and amenorrhea syndrome." However, regardless of the severity of the symptoms, the main cause is the excessive production of prolactin.

The above is about the situation of secreting milk without being pregnant. It is generally pathological and the causes are multifaceted. Some are due to sleep or mental factors, and some are caused by breast squeezing. Because the secretion of milk is affected by hormones in the body, if symptoms of high prolactin appear, timely treatment is required, and it may even cause gynecological diseases.
