Various studies have proven the existence of psychological factors which play an important role in many cases of women that suffer hyperprolactinemia, galactorrhea or even prolactinoma (phenomenon known as the Nunes syndrome). Childhood experiences have been described that generate somatic disorders: divorce or absence of the father, or an alcoholic or/and violent father inducing to infantile regression where the mother and daughter get back to a symbiotic hateful relation symbolized in the lactance period.  We present the case of a patient who manifests an euprolactinemia galactorrhea that coincides with the birth and lactance activities of a girlfriend of her.

Keywords : Galactorrhea; Neurotic disorders; Hyperprolactinemia.
