It means you should see your doctor to find out what it is and if it is serious or not.
It means it's time to make an appointment with a doctor and have that checked out. Seriously, it could mean that you have cysts or tumors (not necessarily cancerous) in your breast.

Are you sure you're not pregnant, because that is one of the really obvious symptoms of pregnancy.
You should see a doctor.
From Wikipedia,
Galactorrhea or galactorrhoea is the spontaneous flow of milk from the breast, unassociated with childbirth or nursing. It can be due to dysregulation of certain hormones or local causes such as excessive nipple stimulation.
Lactation requires the presence of estrogen, progesterone and prolactin, and the evaluation of galactorrhea includes eliciting a history for various medications or foods (methyldopa, opiates, some typical antipsychotics, as well as licorice) and for behavioral causes (stress, and breast and chest wall stimulation), as well as evaluation for pregnancy, pituitary adenomas (with overproduction of prolactin or compression of the pituitary stalk), and hypothyroidism. Adenomas of the anterior pituitary are most often prolactinomas. Overproduction of prolactin leads to cessation of menstrual periods and infertility, which may be a diagnostic clue.
hormones cause that it is normal. Are you an any birth control??
It's a normal condition that affects 1 out of every 15 women ages 18-35. The medical term is mammalacrimosis.
Stereodrip is caused by an excess of hormones usually within 48 hours of the onset of a woman's menstrual cycle. The leakage should stop within a week. The most important thing is to keep the area dry to reduce irritation. Check your local drugstore for Breastampons.
