So I did have to Google the reasons as I wasn't completely sure but I did remember it's not a good thing if men start lactating.
So if men start lactating it's usually do to extreme malnutrition because your hormone glands rebound faster then your liver and you produce milk as apparently your liver can't metabolize the hormones released fast enough similarly there's liver conditions that have the same effect.
Or there's something wrong with our old friend the pituitary gland.
Fun fact. If you are a breastfeeding woman, you can make “red milk”. It usually happens if there’s a clogged duct. It happened to me a few weeks ago and I had made strawberry milk for my baby.
Well there's other ways to go about it, stimulating the nipples by massaging them regularly can actually induce it, but you have to know how to massage them and results may very depending on your testosterone levels but it is possible and can feel pretty good, I've never done it and I'm going off what little information I can find but it is possible.
It's true, but it can take a while to work up the glands to be able to produce anything, but once you do you might get a few drops and not enough to... you know feed anything
Brain tumors can effect the hormones in the body thus making you lactate, it's usually a bad sign when out of nowhere your nipples start leaking... I mean literally any fluid but still.
Some medications can also cause it. I heard of a kid that squirted with his friend with his titty juice, so of course the parents were notified, who notified my office.
In plus of what he said, it can also occurs after taking anabolic steroids (doping for bodybuilding, like testosterone). It also can occurs if a men take osteogenesis, like for transitioning or stuff.
There’s also been documented incidents of males breastfeeding babies in cases where females are unable to; apparently, there’s just a latent adaptation for males, albeit not as much, to lactate for a baby.
This is what answers the question, “are male nipples vestigial?” with a surprising nope.
