Your doc is thinking you have HyperProlactinaemia (see the wiki page).

You could still have elevated prolactin (hormone that stimulates breast milk production) from the pregnancy and breast feeding, but there are a number of other reasons.

The worst reason could be a prolactinoma.

It could also just be due to stress/lack of sleep.

Certain medicines can cause it.

It can occur just by itself and nobody might be able to find out why.

I _DON'T_ know why he's doing the mammogram.
