Milk secretion unrelated to nursing or pregnancy is known as galactorrhea. This condition is unusual and is caused by hormonal imbalance involving estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin. The hormonal imbalance can be related to medications side effect, breast & nipple stimulation, or certain tumors of endocrine glands (adenoma) especially pituitary adenoma. An adenoma is a benign (harmless) tumor, as opposed to a malignant (cancerous) tumor.
