What's Happening?? (Prolactin)

What's Happening?? (Prolactin)

Okay, I'm a young teenager who began to develop very early (i was seven when i got my first pit hair). i'm pretty sure that i'm finished growing. i have noticed that i have a milky (well not milky but whitish-colored) dischange coming from my nipples. (i have inverted nipples, if that's important) i have also noticed that, very recently, i have begun to excessively sweat, even during winter. i googled it and there were some things saying that it could be too much prolactin.

Do you think this is the cause for my symptons??
Do you think it may be something else?
Is this something that I should be concerned about??
Should I go to the doctor because of this??

Developing early is called "precocious puberty" and it can be caused by a number of disorders that may or may not be related to the pituitary but can also be genetic. The milky discharge does sound like there is an issue with prolactin - but prolactin issues can be caused by thyroid issues as well as other issues as well including adrenal so it has to be looked at carefully.

I would have your parents take you to a pediatric endocrinologist. You need a good one to run the tests you need. I will give you a website that will give you some information.
