Gary Lawton, MD, FACS · Answer

Hormones and pressure form the implants could be causing the milk production.  It would be best to have an endocrine evaluation to be sure that this is all that it is.

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

In rare instances this may indicate that you may have a pituitary hormone producing tumor. You should have hormone levels drawn and evaluated by a specialist.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

The hormones you are taking  may stimulate you to produce milk. You should get evaluated by your endocrinologist.
