Family, Internal Medicine, General Medical Questions - Leaky Breast

Question
Hi there, I am hoping you can answer a question for me. I am 22 years old and I had my son in August 2007 (over 2 years ago) and I am still having white discharge (looks like milk to me) from my left breast. Is this normal? I only breast fed for 2 weeks after he was born and it has been 2 years, shouldn't I be all dried up by now? Every other morning I wake up to find my shirt wet from leaking, not to mention it's quite the turn-off during sex. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Answer
yes, it should be "dried up" by now, but some people persist..... that may indicate other problems, so I would see your doctor (not emergently) and have thyroid tests and a prolactin level done and also make sure you are not pregnant again..... hope this helps
