Today, I started lactating. That would be fine if I had a kid. Or was pregnant. Or wasn't 16. FML

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. This has actually happened to me a few times before. I have a strange medical condition that affects my hormones, so that is the most likely culprit. I am seeing quite a few doctors, and none of them are very concerned. They have conducted quite a few tests and nothing was too out of the ordinary. I do not have a tumor (thankfully). To #1, I have been told not to express it because that can encourage my body to produce more milk, but that was quite a nice suggestion. I didn't actually know they did that. :) #3 I am actually not on the pill because I reacted badly to it due to my condition. (I had my period for 5 months straight. Yeah, that wasn't very fun) Also, to everyone suggesting I may be pregnant, my purity ring would beg to differ ;P Again, thanks for the concern and the laughs :) but the situation is under control. Bye!

You can always use one of those milking machines (no idea about the English term sorry) and give it away. I believe there are hospitals who collect this for moms who have trouble lactating.

You could have a thyroid or pituitary issue. Should see a doctor for that. Same thing happened to me.

Medical issues can be scary! Especially unknown causes. I have a benign tumour on my pituitary gland (the size of an edamame.) Lactating, blurred vision, hands and feet fast growing etc... are a few of the warning signs the doctors told me to look out for. I have to get an MRI yearly to check and make sure the lesion isn't growing or it'll have to be surgically removed and then take hormones. Even if in my case it seems noncancerous, if it becomes too large, it'll block my vision because of where the pituitary gland is located.

Mine was because of thyroid cancer. But they initially thought it was a pituitary disorder.

... No, that is not normal. If it's happening to either one, it can be a symptom of a benign tumor or something worse affecting the pituitary gland & screwing with their hormones.

If you are 16 and lactating it may be because of any medical condition.Must consult ur doctor.

Go see a doctor, just to be sure it is nothing serious.

Many many things can cause lactation in a woman. You need to see a physician to find out why that happened and treat it. Probably nothing serious, but...

atypical antipsychotic medications can cause that, especially risperdal/risperidone.

so that means she's automatically got mental health issues just because she's lactating?

All 23 said was that those medications can cause lactating, they never said OP was on them.

23 never said that, he just said that if OP happens to be on medication that it's a potential side effect.
