VARIOUS afferent neurogenic stimuli to the chest wall or breast have been associated with galactorrhoea in man. Non-puerperal lactation has been reported following mechanical trauma, surgery, or burns of the chest wall or breast1–4; following herpes zoster of the chest wall3; and induced by poorly fitting garments4 or breast manipulation3,4. Lactation has occurred in men in association with prolonged suckling of the breast1,3 and may occur in nulliparous and post-menopausal women in response to a suckling stimulus5,6.
