Galactorrhea a complication of spinal cord injury
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1992Co-Authors: Gary M Yarkony, Alan Novick, Elliot J Roth, Kristi L Kirschner, Suzan L Rayner, Henry B BettsAbstract:Abstract Galactorrhea, a secretion of milk or milk-like products from the breast in the absence of parturition, has been reported to occur in women with spinal cord injuries in association with amenorrhea and hyperprolactenemia. Four cases of Galactorrhea in association with spinal cord injury are reported. Galactorrhea developed in four spinal cord injured women who had thoracic paraplegia. The onset of Galactorrhea was from one month to five months after injury. Although the onset of Galactorrhea may have been related to prescribed medications in all four cases, insufficient data exist to draw conclusions. The three women whose Galactorrhea persisted declined treatment and Galactorrhea continuing for more than two years in one instance. We conclude that Galactorrhea with or without amenorrhea may develop after a spinal cord injury and that spinal cord injured women may have an enhanced sensitivity to medication-induced Galactorrhea.

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1997Co-Authors: William A Faubion, Shahla NaderAbstract:We report the case of a 39-year-old nonpregnant woman with amenorrhea and Galactorrhea after spinal cord surgery.

Paroxetine-induced Galactorrhea.
Indian journal of psychiatry, 2014Co-Authors: Prannay Gulati, Bs Chavan, Subhash DasAbstract:Drug-induced Galactorrhea has been reported with agents such as antidopaminergic antiemetics, antipsychotics, etc., with few case reports of Galactorrhea with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, including paroxetine, being reported in last few decades. Prolactin levels have been found to be either raised or normal in these cases. We here report a case of paroxetine induced Galactorrhea in a 48-year-old female patient of obsessive compulsive disorder, having hyperprolactinemic and euprolactinemic Galactorrhea at different time with a pituitary incidentaloma.

euprolactinemic Galactorrhea associated with use of imipramine and escitalopram in a postmenopausal woman
General Hospital Psychiatry, 2010Co-Authors: Rajnarayan Mahasuar, Pratima Majhi, Jayprakash Rusell RavanAbstract:Hormonal side effects of antidepressants are infrequent, and Galactorrhea is seldom mentioned among tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)-related side effects. Antidepressants can directly stimulate postsynaptic 5-HT receptors in the hypothalamus or indirectly inhibit the tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic neurons through 5-HT, which may increase prolactin levels and later cause Galactorrhea. We describe a case of euprolactinemic Galactorrhea in a postmenopausal woman, induced by imipramine and escitalopram. This report highlights the presence of unidentified novel mechanisms of antidepressant-induced Galactorrhea and other possible contributors.
