YOGYAKARTA - Have you ever heard of a woman who comes out of breast milk even though she is not breastfeeding? It turns out that there are several women who experience a condition called galatorea. Because this is unusual, many ask why I'm not pregnant even though I'm not pregnant.
Usually breast milk is produced when a woman is pregnant or after giving birth to a baby. However, there are certain conditions where breast milk can come out even though a woman is not pregnant and may not even have children.
Although galactoreas are generally harmless, it is important for women to understand what galactorea is and what causes it. You also need to know how to deal with galactoreas and the risk factors causing it.
Galaktorea is a medical condition that causes the discharge of liquid from the breastlet, even though the woman is not pregnant or lactating. Liquids that come out are usually white or yellowish, similar to breast milk.
This condition can occur in one or both breasts. Galactorea is not a disease, but a symptom that can be caused by various factors, ranging from hormonal disorders to side effects of certain drugs.
There are several main causes that can cause galatorea or the issuance of breast milk without pregnancy:
Prolacticine is a hormone responsible for producing breast milk. In women who are not pregnant or breastfeeding, prolactin hormone levels are generally low. However, in galactorean conditions, the hormone prolactin can increase, triggering the release of breast milk.
This prolactin hormone excess is often caused by disorders in the pituitary glands in the brain. pituitary glands function to regulate hormone levels in the body.
Several types of drugs can cause an increase in prolactin levels in the blood, triggering galactorea. The drugs that have the potential to cause this condition include antidepressants, high blood pressure drugs, anti-anxiety drugs, and medicines containing estrogen.
It is important to consult a doctor if you have galactorea after starting to take certain drugs.
Excessive stimulation in the breast area, such as squeezing or pressing a tornado, can be one of the causes of the release of breast milk. In addition, the use of clothes that are too tight or persistent friction in the breast can also trigger the release of breast milk similar to breast milk.
The tame tumor in the pituitary gland can increase prolacticine production and cause galactorea. This health problem is known as prolactinoma. Although generally these tumors are harmless, they can affect the body's hormones so as to trigger breast milk production.
Severe stress or emotional disorders can affect hormonal balance in the body. In some women, high stress can cause hormonal changes that trigger galactorea. This is because stress can interfere with the function of the pituitary gland and increase levels of prolactin.
Certain diseases can also trigger galactorea. The health conditions in question include thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism), polyxytic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and chronic kidney or liver disease. These diseases can disrupt the body's hormonal balance and trigger breast milk without pregnancy.
There are several risk factors that can increase the chances of someone experiencing galactorea, including:
If you experience galactorea, there are several steps that can be taken to overcome this condition:
If the breast milk comes out for no apparent reason, go to the doctor immediately. Go to the doctor if you experience symptoms such as breast pain or changes in the menstrual cycle. Doctors usually do prolactin hormone examinations and may conduct radiological examinations on the brain or breasts to identify the cause.
If galatorea occurs due to side effects of drugs, doctors may suggest stopping the use of the drug. Maybe the doctor will suggest replacing it with other drugs that are safer for the body.
Excessive stress can affect the body's hormones. Managing stress through relaxation activities such as meditation, yoga, or other hobbies can help balance hormones in the body and prevent abnormal milk production.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate rest is also very important to maintain hormonal balance. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. These bad habits can affect hormone health as a whole.
