Title: Lactating?? what?! :O
Post by: BearGuy on May 30, 2013, 12:41:09 AM
Alright so I'm kinda worried at the moment. Was wearing a white tank top the other day, flexed my chest and squeezed my chest with my hand to feel the hardness...then felt and saw a small wet spot on my shirt o.O this time, squeezed around my nipple and whitish stuff oozed out...and it did from the other one,too. For the past week,whenever i squeeze in a certain way, that comes out.Very little though. Weird. 7 mo on T btw. Is this something to worry about and mention to doc? Embarrassing :/

I'm 19 and..well..never been pregnant lmao. I'm with a woman.

Is it watery? Is it coming from the nipple or areola? I have some funky nipple secretions that are green which started after T. It doesn't make a huge spot for me, but I'm aware of it. It could be high prolactin levels, could be something else.

Doesn't sound ok, I'd check out with doctor. Might not be anything, but best be safe.

Yup it's watery and from the nipple itself, it comes out when i squeeze moderately hard

Had something similar happen to me 10 years ago... are you on any medications? Apparently lactation is a relatively typical side effect of many medications.

Just a thought. Definitely get in touch with your PCP.

All I take is testosterone weekly, no other medications. Oh, wait, I do take fluticasone (nasal spray) but that's it. I do take bodybuilding supplements, some for bodybuilding, others for other things: Whey protein, BCAAs, Glutamine, Mens multivitamin, Biotin, Melatonin.

Where you on T when this happened? Did everything turn out okay?

It is called Galactorrhea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactorrhea)

There are many articles about it.  Check out WebMD too.
