DOCTOR MY TWO BREASTS PRODUCE MILK WITHOUT BEING PREGNANT AND WITHOUT BREASTFEEDING. IS IT TRUE THIS CAN MAKE ME INFERTILE?

"DOCTOR MY TWO BREASTS PRODUCE MILK WITHOUT BEING PREGNANT AND WITHOUT  BREASTFEEDING. IS IT TRUE THIS CAN MAKE ME INFERTILE?: ANOTHER INTERESTING STORY.

I have Mrs  Kehinde's permission to share her infertility story and glory with you. I hope this inspires somebody to her own glory in this new year 2021. Happy reading...

On the fateful afternoon my phone kept ringing continuously. I was inside my consulting room attending to patients. I dont like picking calls if a patient is sitting before me. I consider it as being inconsiderate to someone in pain or need. I pick calls that are only emergency but that fateful day I had to beg the patient before me to please allow me pick  the call because of the persistence. I didn't  have the phone number but true caller app had identified the number as Kehinde. Sincerely my intention was to first listen to know if the call was actually an emergency and if not,to scold the person not to call me continuously like that again. If I am not answering your calls then I must have been busy saving somebody's life as a doctor. Sending me a message or calling me back at a later time will be great.

"Yes who is on the line?" I asked as I picked the call expecting to hear the explanation for this continuous call, instead, it was a very burden-laden voice in tears from the other side I heard. I became quiet for as long as I could. Eventually I found the strength to say " please may I know who this is and how I can be of help?" Then the voice gradually and slowly uttered " my name is Kehinde. I have been married for three years,no child. I got your number from one of my friends who was having breast milk coming out of her breasts and unable to conceive but you treated her from your online consultation and today she is a mother.I just want to ask you some questions please. Firstly, can my own too be possible because I am going through the same thing? The mockery in my marriage from my husband and his family is making me think of taking my own life doctor. Secondly "DOCTOR, MY TWO BREASTS PRODUCE MILK WITHOUT BEING PREGNANT,WITHOUT BREASTFEEDING. WHY  AND IS IT TRUE THIS CAN MAKE ME INFERTILE? Thank you.

I was quiet again for like another 30 seconds to 1 minute. After recovery from what I just heard, I asked her if I could call her back in two minutes. I apologised again to the patient I was seeing initially but the patient could also hear the depth of the sorrow in the crying voice on my phone. The patient said "doctor please attend to the woman calling you on phone I think it is an emergency. I think she is distressed". Sincerely I couldn't agree less. I quickly rounded up with my patients and called Mrs Kehinde back. 

"So Mrs kehinde you thought of committing suicide because you could not have a child?" I asked. She answered me  " No not because I could not have a child, because my husband mocks me everyday and his mother told somebody I am a male goat that cannot conceive that they just mistakenly bought and brought home and very soon her son would bring a very productive woman home and there would be nothing I could do to stop it. 

Doctor I have been depressed for the past 2 years. I have thought of taking my own life several times. I asked her if she had planned the way she wanted to kill herself. She said she had bought snipers to drink. I asked her where she was. She answered " doctor I am calling you from a village in another state." I went ahead to counsel her first against seeing suicide as a solution to life problems. After several minutes,I was able to convince her suicide was not the answer to whatever problem she had.

Then to my  next question "madam you think the milk coming out of your breasts is responsible for your infertility? yes it can truly cause INFERTILITY but there are other causes of infertility. we will do other tests to rule out other causes of infertility. So how long have you been seening milk coming out of your breasts without pregnancy, without breastfeeding?" She answered "Doctor I will be sincere with you this breast milk  problem started when I was in the university on campus dating one of my boyfriends. I will be sincere sir I dated many guys but I aborted one pregnancy each for only three among them,making it 3 abortions. It was not too long after the last abortion i did, that I noticed this breast milk problem and ever since then till I left campus, did NYSC, started working ,got married, till now three years in my marriage, i have been having the breast milk without being pregnant again."

"My monthly cycles kept changing also from that time till now. My menses that were regular before have become irregular since the last abortion. Doctor save me from this shame and agony the way you saved my friend. This mockery is too much for me to continue to bear like this."

 

I must confess my soul sank for this woman's agony. I told her the diagnosis of having breastmilk coming out of her breasts without pregnancy or breastfeeding is called GALACTORHEA, caused most times if not all the times by HYPERPROLACTINEMIA which in turn is caused by many things from brain tumour to sucking your nipples excessively to taking some drugs like ulcer drugs  to not knowing the actual cause and GALACTORHEA can truly cause INFERTILITY.

So I asked her how she confirmed the breastmilk was actually real breastmilk because some women cannot differentiate between when breastmilk is coming out of their breasts and when it is just clear fluid coming out of their breasts. Before I could say anything further, she cut the phone, after few minutes called me back. "Doctor check your WhatsApp I have sent u the video of the breastmilk or If you dont mind i will love to do video call with you to show you but the network in the village here is too crappy." I checked the video she sent, confirmed, it was frank breastmilk coming out of the two breasts truly, freely flowing out of the two breasts like somebody who is breastfeeding a new born baby. 

I asked her to get some tests done in the nearby city in the state to further confirm if the hormone behind the breast milk production had problem. The level was very high from the result she sent back to me. Then I commenced her on the treatment to reduce the hormone and balance it. 

We kept in touch for 3 months all on WhatsApp. She was taking her drugs and carrying me along. After finishing the treatment,her menses became normal and regular and breastmilk disappeared to thin air. I commenced her on a fertility drug during her menstruation. She got pregnant fourth month after our first contact.

To fast forward the story, she is a proud mother of 1 year old baby boy today. We have not seen each other till today. This is power of what we call TELEMEDICINE (ability to consult patient or doctor via social media). We are looking forward to meeting each other January this new year 2021. The last time she called me, it was the voice of resounding  laughter I heard from the other side. This reminded me of  the deep tears of sorrow I heard the first day i heard that voice on the other side in the clinic. I also heard one more voice. That was that of the 1 year old baby boy named Miracle. She said my husband and the mother-in-law had apologised 1 million times, doctor thank you so much for your passion to help people. I told her she should return all the glory to God. As she dropped her call from the other end ,many lessons overwhelmed my mind,let me share them with you below:

Lesson Number 1:

Avoid premarital sex which usually leads to premarital abortions which usually lead to marital infertility. 

Lesson number 2:

Husband and in-laws stop tormenting a wife because of her inability to conceive.  If there is any time in the life of a woman she needs the support of her husband and in-laws most, it is the time she is looking for fruits of the womb.

Lesson number 3:

Patients learn to do and follow everything your doctor asked and directed you to do,irrespective of distance ,you will be shocked you will get result.

Lesson number 4:

If you are a young single woman ,not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and breast milk is coming out of your breasts,please dont take it for granted,seek help now before you enter into marriage and the delay in getting pregnant leads to further complications in your marriage.

Thank you for your time for reading this article. I hope you have learnt one or two lessons from it.

Share this with your family and friends.
