Hi,

Break milk secretion in a non-pregnant middle aged women could be due to:
- Disease in pituitary gland - non-cancerous tumor or Hyperprolactinemia
- Excessive breast and nipple stimulation
- medications:  anti-psychotics, antidepressants
- Thyroid disorders or chronic kidney disease
- Use of marijuana, opioids, or cocaine
I advise you to do:
- Blood tests to check the levels of prolactin and do TFT
- If elevated blood levels of prolactin, then do an MRI scan of the brain to check the pituitary gland.
- An ultrasound or mammogram of the breasts to find out the underlying pathology
- Treatment will be based on the cause

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
