MAN MILK
 

ok, i'm a nineteen year old male with large, natural pectorial muscles. lately, i've notice that they've been producing a couple of drops of milk each. WTF is going on? i've been drinking soy milk and i'm starting to get worried that the photoestrogens are turning me in to a woman! shit. yo.

Are you single? Sorry.

Ask your doctor... lots of men have this problem.

it aint like leaking, but it comes out if i want it to... what's the fucking dealing? will the chicks dig it?

Bwahahaha!!!11

Ok, sorry, that was probably not an appropriate response! You're drinking soy milk for protein, right? Try consuming soya in other forms, say as soya chunks.

One can only suggest that you consult a doc! Milkman is here

OMIGOD!!11

i actually drink it for calcium. i was on soy isolate protein a couple of months back, maybe that did the damage. maybe i should just switch back to moo cow milk.

Tilted Advice
 

Hey, I thought this would be a rare condition. Didn't know lots would have it. What gives? Is it because of heavy exercises, weight lifting?

I only produce the *other* man milk, so have no experience with this.

However, I doubt you'd get it from exercising or weight lifting. Milk production in females is encouraged by female hormones, not male ones. Go to a doctor, see what they say.

...or build a website catering to man-milk-fetishists. You could potentially make a fortune. :)

It depends on what you consider rare. I believe the statistic is about 1 in 9. Anyways, see a doctor but it probably not a big deal.

Good idea <b>Dragonlich</b>. I'm with everyone else, go to the doc. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about though.

See a doctor to make sure it is not the sign of a serious condition, such as a pituitary problem.

Nipples are nipples.
Some work, some don't

If you are concerned, go see a doc about it.
However, if they aren't leaking, then don't worry.

a friend of mine said his nipples did that sometimes... not a lot... just a few lil drops... i always said he was just a weirdo...

This is called galactorrhea .. it's normal and generally is a result of a hormone disbalace. Go see a doc for sure !

[edit: spelling]

:eek: I had absolutely no idea that men could do that....

:confused:

Yeah, I'd definately have to see a Doc about that. Even if its harmless, it would be a relief to find out instead of worrying over it.

just to let you know, if you consume large quanities of soy, this is a strong possiblity. I have read that soy can do this in men!

Random quote: On a related note, some friends of mine are taking their 8 y/o daughter to the doc because she's developing breasts. They think it might be the soymilk and hormones from meat they've been getting. I never really imagined there could be that amount of hormones in food to alter things.

Could this problem be related to the soy intake? I've heard others mentioning that they use Whey protien because there are some who suggest that soy increases estrogen levels. CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG. Estrogen level increase seems like a likely cause of breast milk production. I've personally never heard of a man lactating. Your only 19 and your horomones are probably still regulating and sensitive to change. Just a thought. See a doctor.

ant steroid use involved?

Actually, ozmodiar .. estrogen inhibits the effect of lactation. The hormone involved is prolactin.

This could be soy related .. however, it is most likely a rare ocurrence of galactorrhea. :D

.. dude! You're leaking ;)

hmmmm, I eat a lot of soy but this hasn't happened to me. is it more related to certain soy products? i hate soymilk and won't touch the stuff but I'll eat 3/4 pound of tofu as part of a meal a few times a week as well as other things.... should i get some empty bottles together and start contacting day care centers?

Soy milk has high levels of natural estrogens, could that have something to do with it?
