The correct medical term for male lactation is male galactorrhea.
Lactation requires mainly estrogen, progesterone and prolactin.
Theoretically greatly increasing the levels of those hormones in your body should lead to some degree of lactation. But since you mammalian glands didn't develop in puberty like female ones do, the actual milk production will be very little. There are several medications which are known to cause galactorrhea
as a side effect (f. ex. Tagamet
and Risperidone),
also several foods are supposed to increase lactation (asparagus etc.). Pathologically galactorrhea
frequently occurs in males with pituitary adenoma
(tumor of the pituitary gland). Several observations made by allied doctors after treating the victims of concentration camps in WW2 also lead to the conclusion that the hormonal dysregulation
caused by starving can lead to galactorrhea
in males.
Physiologically, due to a combination of the effects of maternal hormones before birth, prolactin
and growth hormone passed through breast feeding and the postnatal pituitary and thyroid hormone surge in the infant, male galactorrhea
sometimes occurs in male and female newborns.

Is it possible to lactate into old age?
No it is not possible to lactate into old age. Hormones levels begin to drop significantly around the mid to late 40s. This drop means no ovulation, no periods, no chance of pregnancy,and thus, no possibility of lactation. You may have heard women or physicians/nurses refer to "old eggs" and in a sense, this becomes very true in peri-menopause. In post-menopause, "eggs", "ovulation", pregnancy and lactation cease to exist.If a woman who is post menopause begins bleeding or having breast discharge (not lactation even if the fluid might look similar), she should see her doctor (sooner rather than later).
