Can women over 50 still lactate?

While it is rare, women of any age can potentially lactate if their breasts are stimulated to produce milk. This can happen as a result of certain medications or medical conditions, or in some cases, even in the absence of any known cause. Lactation is primarily controlled by hormones, and changes in hormone levels, such as those that occur during pregnancy and breastfeeding, can trigger milk production. However, it is generally less common for women over 50 to experience spontaneous lactation, as the body usually undergoes hormonal changes after menopause that lead to a decrease in milk production.
