👉 Breast fumes, also known as galactorrhea, refer to the abnormal production and secretion of breast milk without pregnancy or lactation. These fumes are typically caused by hormonal imbalances, often involving elevated levels of prolactin, a hormone that stimulates milk production. Common triggers include stress, certain medications, hormonal changes during menopause, and in rare cases, tumors or other medical conditions affecting the pituitary gland. The symptoms can range from mild, such as a slight increase in breast size or a wet nurse's milk-like discharge, to more noticeable changes like a noticeable lump or increased sensitivity. While often benign, persistent breast fumes warrant medical evaluation to rule out underlying issues that may require treatment.
