Hi!
I hope that the doctors who diagnosed you are also able to help treat your condition.  At your age, an endocrinologist might be a very good person to have involved in your care. In many cases galactorrhea is caused by elevated prolactin levels.  It is quite important to know why the prolactin level is elevated (if it is).  Most cases can be treated with medication, so be sure to follow up with your provider!
Good luck!
