O92.61: Galactorrhoea With mention of difficulties latching on
Your breasts are giving far too much milk.
The breast is made up of fatty tissue, connective tissue and the mammary gland. Milk is produced in the mammary gland during and after pregnancy so that the child can be fed. The milk from the mammary gland passes to the nipple through the milk ducts. There are certain messengers in the body that stimulate milk production in the mammary gland. Milk production is also stimulated when the child sucks on the nipple or it is pumped.
The breasts may give far too much milk for a variety of reasons. Frequent pumping can over-stimulate the mammary glands to produce milk. Certain medications, or other substances, can also over-stimulate milk production. You may have a great deal of mammary gland tissue. You may also have too many milk production messengers.
If you have far too much milk, the breasts can release milk involuntarily. Milk then comes out of the nipples without the child sucking on them. The breasts may also feel very full and be sore. You are having difficulties breastfeeding your child because you have far too much milk.
