I know this must feel really strange and scary to experience. Please stay calm, but do make an appointment with your doctor to get it checked out.

Lactation hormones can sometimes act up even without pregnancy. It is best to let a doctor run some basic blood tests to be sure.

Do not squeeze or stimulate your breasts as it will only increase the leaking. Book an appointment with your doctor for a hormonal evaluation.
