Patient's question:
According to the elders, breast milk is programmed by the mother's blood. I don't think it's very scientific. How is breast milk transformed?Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, prolactin from the pituitary gland, placental lactogen, estrogen, and progesterone levels rise, which may stimulate the proliferation of breast glandular ducts and alveoli. Milk is originally a protein and is naturally secreted due to the effect of progesterone. When prolactin levels increase, it naturally secretes milk rich in nutrients, containing very rich high protein. Only after giving birth or undergoing an induced abortion surgery, as the brain stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete more prolactin, milk naturally comes in.
