this was posted on a breastfeeding forum i'm a member of
" I am a man who has a medical condition which has caused me to lactate, this started over a year ago and I've been seeing doctors for this ever since... but they haven't yet found a way to stop it. I was in quite a lot of discomfort so my doctor advised that I should use a breastpump... both for comfort and to avoid mastitis. It seems that the amount of prolactin in my blood is always astronomically high whether I pump or not, so that kinda helps. Since it started the amount of milk I've been producing has increased quite steadilly, so at the moment I'm pumping about 7 times a day and producing roughly 1300ml per day. I go to university so I often have to skip a pumping session or two for my lessons and just leak through it."
he goes on to say he now donates the milk to a milk bank.....
(i understand its a genuine medical condition, but on a breastfeeding forum???)
