Hi I do the same thing but I have 3 children. Even after 5 years from having my last child I still lactate, the doctor told me that some women just do that, it has to do with hormones, also if you take the pill it may happen to. But It doesn't hurt to ask a doctor, there are also other reasons it may happen like mastitis which means there may be an infection. I guess I'm saying yes it can be normal but it also can be a serious health issue so I would get it checked Good luck.

You should consult your doc. This sounds like a condition called galactorrhea. It's exactly what's happening to you. It's rare though and I actually know of a man who has this condition. There's a gel that the doc could prescribe you to dry it out. I also heard that cabbage leaves placed on your breasts will help dry it out (in the meantime...just don't keep them on longer than 20mins at a time or you'll get smelly).

Don't panic, but do talk to your doctor about it. Are you on any medications? Certain meds can cause the side effect of lactation (bizarre, I know, but true).

It's not lactation if you're not had a child. YES, you should tell your doctor ASAP. This is not normal and probably means that something is wrong.
Stop squeezing them....for all you know, you could be rupturing small tumors and making things worse.

i am not sure why you would be lactating but you need to talk toyour doc if you have not and are not pregnant then it could be a serious condition dont be scared to ask your doc or better yet call your OBGYN and ask generally what that means you dont have to give your name if you dont want to but you need to talk to a doc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, please tell your doctor because this could be a sign of something wrong with your pituitary gland (a gland that is at the back of our brain).

I would highly suggest telling your doctor. Is it kind of thick? It really depends... it is best to talk to your OBGYN.

Have you ever had sex? Unprotected?
You may have had a miscarriage and never realized it.
