Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
Nick on mammary gland will not cause milk to ooze out.
Milk is secreted physiologically only during pregnancy.
Other causes of milk secretion is prolactinoma which can press on her pituitary gland.
It is a benign tumor and treatable with medicines.
I suggest her to get prolactin levels tested.
Medical treatment may be needed if levels are high
Hope this helps.
regards,
Dr Nilofer
