Breast milk without pregnancy

Kindly let me know what can cause milk to come out of the breasts of a woman who is not pregnant.

A woman not pregnant can produce milk from her breasts due to a condition called galactorrhea, which is caused by high levels of the hormone prolactin.

This can be due to underlying endocrine or pituitary gland issues (like a tumor), certain medications, excessive nipple stimulation, thyroid problems, or stress. It is important to see a doctor to identify the specific cause.
