lactation after having a baby 7 months ago

Question by djgrice3 Reward: 25 Pond Points + 10 Knowledge Tokens Status: Pending a resolution
A friend of mine had a baby almost 7 months ago, {she breast fed one time}. She stopped lactating and about 2 weeks ago she started to have spots of small beads of breast milk leaking. She is on birth control and we have no explaination as to what is going on. Does anyone have a possible explanation as to what is going on?

It could be the hormones in contraceptive pills which are affecting the milk production. Pills can be replaced with a doctor prescription.
However a milky like substance (pus) may be leaking and it is a sign of infection in the milk ducts and this would need medical attention ASAP.
Another less likely case may be a cyst or growth in the breast .
It is likely to be just from the pills and could stop soon however I advise to have it checked by your physician to eliminate any other possibilities.
