virgin at 34

I am 34 years old and still a virgin. The problem is that my breasts lactate.  What could be the problem.  with this problem, am i capable of getting pregnant if at all i slept with a man?

I recommend seeing your doctor to check your prolactin level. It could represent a pituitary problem. If the prolactin level is elevated then you may need an MRI of the brain/pituitary.  You are capable of becoming pregnant if you sleep with a man.

I went to see the doctor and he prescribed Parlodel (Bromocriptin) 30 tablets which I took.  He told me things like if I tried to conceive it would not be possible with such a condition.  Even after completing the course of 30 tablets, the milk still comes out.  I am scared I dont want to hear the worst and did not even return to see the dr again.

I recommend that you see your doctor as soon as possible. Do not be scared. If you take the medication and the milk resolves and you have regular periods, you should be able to get pregnant in the future. Your doctor may order an MRI to see if there is a microtumor in your pituitary called a microadenoma causing the elevated prolactin. PLEASE SEE YOUR DOCTOR as soon as possible.
