Since having my son three years ago, my
breasts have been leaking. First my doctor
tried several forms of birth control pills
to regulate my hormones but the problem
persisted. After 9-12 months, I started on
1 dose of Bromocriptine/day. That helped
them from overtly leaking, but if they
were 'encouraged,' leaking was immediate.
I got up to 3 doses/day. Side effects were
unbearable, mostly nausea. Now over two
years since starting the Bromocriptine,
the symptoms continue. There has been one
incident of overt leaking. I went to the
doctor about 2 weeks ago. We agreed I
would stop the medication and change to
pill that has no inactive pills, in hopes
my body would step in and try to regulate
itself. My prolactin reading at that visit
was 27. I have had an MRI, nothing was
there. I need advice about what to do now.
If in a month, nothing has changed, I will
ask my doctor to refer me to a specialist.
I feel like this is hopeless and I'm
scared of what would happen if i had
another child.
