Milk coming from the breast when you're not pregnant is more than likely caused by an endocrine problem. This is caused when there is an imbalance of certain hormones in the body mainly prolactin.
The best thing to do with an issue like this is to visit your GP, they will determine whether you are ill and how to get appropriate treatment. Your GP will probably take a blood test to see if there is an imbalance in your body or hormones as well as he will check for other possible issues that may cause milk coming from your breast.
This problem could be related to your polycystic ovaries but then again could be unrelated. This problem affects the ovaries and is caused by an excess amount of hormones which cause the ovaries to hold fluid outside the sac. It is relatively common with up to 10 percent of women having it at one stage or another in their lifetime.
Make sure you don't ignore this problem hoping it will go away as even if it does there may be unforeseen issues or problems caused by it.
This issue can also be caused by a change in diet or breast size, gland stimulation from sucking the breasts during sex or love making.
An enlarged pituitary condition can be an issue and unbalances hormones causing milk to be produced. 
Duct Estasia is also a condition common in older women that can cause these issues also.
There are many reasons for this issue and many of them are not that serious and don't need you to take on any advanced medical procedures. Most involve some medication and little more.

It doesn't necessarily mean you're pregnant. If you are taking certain birth control medications, it can be a side affect of that. One thing you should absolutely do is see your doctor just to be sure everything is okay. Good Luck!

When I press my breasts there is milk showing up but I had unprotected sex in a week's time. Does it mean I might be pregnant, I don't have a baby yet but I'm 30 years old.

Kiarajo, leaking breasts are not indicative of pregnancy. There could be a number of things that might cause thi: Medications, hormones, etc. Some women can prepare themselves to lactate even without being pregnant. You many want to see your doctor as soon as possible, or call a nurse practitioner. You may need a breast exam to determine that all is ok. Good luck to you.

I just had this recently- Ive never even been pregnant, so I was shocked! According to my doc, it can sometimes be a sign of pregnancy. A hormonal imbalance, or in my case, my body responding oddly to my tonsils coming out since I am older than the average tonsil patient.

If it does not clear up within a week, go to your doc asap. They will do a simple breast exam to start off. Nothing too bad, just a little embarassing.

This is the design of the woman's mammary organ. As the woman gets pregnant, the mammary gland is activated and milk starts to build up in preparation of the birth of the baby. The woman has a natural milk provider to feed her infant and that is the reason the breast leaks when you have given birth...that is nature!

Okay, I don't think so. You may want to get that checked out. Second you are using correct grammar, I don't mean to be mean. It makes you seem unintelligent. I had a hard time understanding your question, please revise it.
