Galactorrhea (also spelled galactorrhoea) (galacto-+ -rrhea) or lactorrhea (lacto-+ -rrhea) is the spontaneous flow of milk from the breast, unassociated with childbirth or nursing. Galactorrhea is reported to occur in 5–32% of females. Much of the difference in reported incidence can be attributed to different definitions of galactorrhea. [1]
This allows a diagnosis to be made while the person is still an infant. Affected children can have serious, irreversible effects or even die within days from birth. Infants affected by galactosemia typically present with symptoms of lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, failure to thrive, and jaundice.
If the level is within the normal range (e.g. <1.0 mg/dL), the parent/guardian is advised to challenge their child with dietary galactose—meaning feed the child a diet that includes normal levels of milk and dairy for 2–4 weeks. Immediately after that time, another blood sample is collected and analyzed for Gal-1P level.

For instance, many pre-menopausal women experiencing hyperprolactinemia do not experience galactorrhea and only some women who experience galactorrhea will be diagnosed with hyperprolactinemia. Thus, galactorrhea may be observed in individuals with normal prolactin levels and does not necessarily indicate hyperprolactinemia. [ 9 ]
Galactorrhea hyperprolactinemia is increased blood prolactin levels associated with galactorrhea (abnormal milk secretion). It may be caused by such things as certain medications, pituitary disorders and thyroid disorders. The condition can occur in males as well as females.
Most people fully recover, but only after days of misery. Because it mutates, people can get sick with a norovirus every year. Outbreaks can occur at any time, but are most common from November to ...
Normal metabolic pathway for galactose in humans In classic galactosemia, galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase activity is reduced or absent; leading to an accumulation of the precursors, galactose, galactitol, and Gal-1-P. [ 3 ] The elevation of precursors can be used to differentiate GALT deficiency from galactokinase deficiency, as Gal ...
