You ought to be concerned.
Inappropriate lactation, no matter the cause may interfere with your getting pregnant in future.
One thing I always tell patients to do is to stop checking your breast all the time. Stop squeezing the nip ples looking if there's a discharge or not.
The more you touch your breasts or allow others to touch them, the more milk you will produce.
Take your mind off them for sometime don't wear tight bras or bras made from material that irritate the nip ples.
If you've done all the above for sometime and you're still lactating you may need medical treatment with bromocriptine or carbegoline

You might want to watch your pre-intimacy with your partner. Once heard of a case where a couple couldn't conceive after their first child. They went see a consultant, where they were told dat the husband sucking of his wife's breas.ts was stimulating milk production thereby affecting her ovulation.

@P The only issue with this prolonged lactation is that you may find it difficult to get pregnant again. If you are trying to get pregnant their are medications you can take to stop the lactation i beleive in Nigeria its called Bromegan. I stopped lactating almost 1 year after i stopped breastfeeding once the milk dried up i got pregnant the very next month.

I see. Well not trying to get pregnant anytime soon. But thanks for the first advice. I will try not to keep examining my Brest to see if milk will come out. But it hurts when it's not out. What's the name of the medication here in the US? Or is there any natural remedies?

well since you are in the USA then you should go see a specialist an endocriniologist cause they will want to do other test they'll test your prolactin levels and depending on the numbers they may do other test to rule out any other complications. I had high prolactin levels prior to having my first child and had to see one of those dr and they ran so many test on me to make sure all was well and it was. I am not sure if your regular gp can percribe those medications to you but the names are either Bromegan or parodel.
