Galactorrhoea not associated with childbirth

Definition

A condition of the breast, characterised by persistent and abnormal secretion of white discharge. In females, the secretions occur between intervals of neonate or infant nursing, or after the infant has stopped breastfeeding. In males and children, these secretions occur spontaneously. This condition is not associated with the physiological changes as part of pregnancy, childbirth, or the puerperium.
