The use of certain routine drugs, such as opium, marijuana, and cocaine, can trigger lactation without pregnancy. It is important to tell your doctor if you use any drugs, and how often. They need to consider this when diagnosing your galactore.
For some people, regular breast stimulation can trigger galactorea. This can be stimulated during sexual activity, from frequent breast tests, or from clothes swiping with nipples.
In addition, mothers who adopt babies and want to breastfeed can prepare their breasts and increase levels of prolacticine by pumping.

In addition, stopping anti-psychotic drugs, reducing the use of marijuana, cocaine, and/or opiates, and limiting the stimulation of nipples are all ways to stop galactoreas if these things are found as the cause.

Dr. Ross also said drugs can be given to lower high prolacticine numbers. Bromocryptine is a drug used to lower levels of high prolacticine in your blood, which helps treat lactation symptoms.
