Galactorrhea (also spelled galactorrhoea) (galacto- + -rrhea) or lactorrhea (lacto- + -rrhea) is the spontaneous flow of milk from the breast, unassociated with childbirth or nursing.
Galactorrhea is reported to occur in 5–32% of females. Much of the difference in reported incidence can be attributed to different definitions of galactorrhea.[1] Although frequently benign, it may be caused by serious underlying conditions and should be properly investigated.[2] Galactorrhea also occurs in males, newborn infants and adolescents of both sexes.[3]
