Milk secretion in nonpregnant females occurs due to hyperprolactenaemia ,or as a side effect of some medicines. Your friend should get her serum prolactin level done. If raised she will require medical treatment.

Little amount of discharge is normal in both breasts. If discharge from one nipple it should be consider as abnormal. If only one nipple check your prolactin level via pathological investigation.
