Took my elderly mother, who is also a cancer patient there looking for a primary care doctor. I have 30 years of experience under my belt of dealing with medical professionals, and I don't give 5 stars easily. The place was immaculate, and we were greeted with smiles when we walked through the door.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care
What is galactorrhea?
Galactorrhea is the unexpected production of breast milk or milky discharge in individuals who are not breastfeeding. It can be caused by hormonal changes, medications, thyroid issues, or other medical conditions.
When should I seek medical evaluation?
Seek evaluation if the discharge is persistent, occurs spontaneously, affects one or both breasts, or is associated with headaches, menstrual changes, or visual symptoms.
What causes galactorrhea?
Causes include elevated prolactin, thyroid disorders, certain medications, breast stimulation, pituitary gland tumors, hormonal imbalance, and stress.
Is galactorrhea dangerous?
Many cases are benign, but persistent or unexplained galactorrhea may indicate an underlying hormonal or endocrine condition that needs evaluation.
Can mobile urgent care evaluate galactorrhea?
Yes. Mobile clinicians can review symptoms, assess medical history, order labs, and recommend further testing if needed — all from your home.
What tests might be recommended?
Testing may include prolactin levels, thyroid function labs, pregnancy testing, medication review, and in some cases, pituitary imaging depending on symptoms.
Can both men and women develop galactorrhea?
Yes. Although more common in women, anyone can experience galactorrhea when hormone levels are imbalanced.
Will I need imaging?
Imaging is recommended only when specific symptoms are present, such as headaches, vision changes, or significantly elevated prolactin levels.
Does insurance cover the evaluation?
Most insurance plans cover galactorrhea evaluations and medically necessary diagnostic testing.
Is the condition related to breast cancer?
Galactorrhea itself is usually not associated with cancer, but evaluating any unexpected breast discharge is important to rule out other conditions.
Can medications cause galactorrhea?
Yes. Certain antidepressants, antipsychotics, blood pressure medications, and hormonal therapies can increase prolactin levels and cause breast discharge.
Is my health information private?
Yes. All visits are fully confidential and comply with HIPAA standards to protect your personal and medical information.
Can virtual care help?
Yes. Telehealth can review symptoms, medication use, and determine whether in-home or in-clinic follow-up is needed.
Can galactorrhea resolve on its own?
Yes. If related to stress, temporary hormonal fluctuations, or medication side effects, symptoms may resolve with adjustments or treatment.
