By Mayo Clinic staffOften, the milky discharge associated with galactorrhea goes away on its own. Until that time, minimize the likelihood of nipple discharge by avoiding stimulating your breasts. These tips may help:

- Avoid performing breast self-exams more frequently than once a month.
- Wear clothing that minimizes friction between the fabric and your nipples.
