==Causes==
==Causes==
It can be due to dysregulation of certain [[hormone]]s or local causes such as excessive nipple stimulation.
===Common Causes===
*[[Ahumada-del castillo syndrome]]
*[[Domperidone]]
*[[Fluoxetine]]
*[[Hypothyroidism]]
*[[Meningoencephalitis]]
*[[Methyldopa]]
*[[Metoclopramide]]
*[[Prolactinomas]]
*[[Verapamil]]


Lactation requires the presence of [[estrogen]], [[progesterone]] and [[prolactin]], and the evaluation of galactorrhea includes eliciting a history for various medications or foods ([[methyldopa]], [[opiates]], some typical [[antipsychotic]]s, as well as [[licorice]]) and for behavioral causes (stress, and breast and chest wall stimulation), as well as evaluation for pregnancy, [[pituitary adenoma]]s (with overproduction of [[prolactin]] or compression of the pituitary stalk), and [[hypothyroidism]]. Adenomas of the anterior pituitary are most often prolactinomas. Overproduction of prolactin leads to cessation of menstrual periods and [[infertility]], which may be a diagnostic clue. Galactorrhea may also be caused by hormonal imbalances owing to birth control pills. Galactorrhea is also a side effect associated with the use of the second-generation [[H2 receptor antagonist]], [[Cimetidine]] (trade name: Tagamet).
