The breasts have what is called mammary glands in them. When puberty begins the breasts normally enlarge from the hormone, (O)estrogen. The breasts have a series of tubes that radiate from the common center, ie' the nipple, where a number of slight nodules on the areola are formed by the milk glands under the surface of the skin. The tubes, ranging from 15 to 20 extend from the lobes of the breast and open at the nipple. When a breast is inactive, no pregnancy, is consists of mainly connective tissue and fat. During pregnancy, or attempting to induce lactation, the breasts enlarge and the mammary glands become active and when sufficient levels of the hormone required to trigger milk production, is present, milk is released into tiny ducts where stimulation of the nipple and areola may cause the milk to be ejected from the nipple. Additionally, Note, that a woman does not have to be pregnant, or have had a child for this to happen, it may also happen due to the effects of a hormone imbalance which may be unexplainable, caused by a pituitary tumor, or caused by regular nipple stimulation. Some women have started lactating by heavy nipple play alone.
unsurprisingly, breast milk is produced by breasts.......
Yes, Enrique Iglesias is known for having lots of chest muscle but can produce breast milk. His breast milk is actually Spanish milk. It is hard for him to produce milk because of his breast size and the nipple is folded under his chest
Yes. Male breasts have milk ducts.
No.
No. Breast milk is only produced by hormones in the body after a baby is born.
You have to be pregnant to have Breast Milk. Although your body can produce it while your a virgin. It won't come out until you are pregnant.
No, lactation (the production of breast milk) is typically triggered by hormonal changes during pregnancy and childbirth. The hormone prolactin is primarily responsible for stimulating milk production in the mammary glands. Without the hormonal signals associated with pregnancy, the body is unlikely to produce significant amounts of breast milk through pumping alone.
No. Female humans do not have the capacity to produce that much milk. Humans are not cows.
No, women produce breast milk due to a hormone that men don't have
yes they can
yes
LACTATION is the process in which mammary glands in female mammals produce milk.
