Lactiferous Sinus[edit]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_anatomy says that there's no such thing as a lactiferous sinus. I'm inclined to believe it, considering how slow the medical community is to adapt to new knowledge. It's amazing how one person's outdated research is propagated to every source of supposedly accurate information there is. Doctors and schools read one or two journals and think they know what's going on, but have no way of networking with the greater community, no idea what's really going on, get no targeted news of recent discoveries in their field. It's funny how much more and more accurate information you can learn than a doctor from simple internet research. LieAfterLie (talk) 02:49, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I may not be a doctor, but this article makes is sound like milk comes out of one duct, which is what I thought before a surgeon spliced into and cut half of my ducts. When pumping, I could see milk coming from throughout the nipple. This may be a feature of Tuberous Nipples. I don't know the situation for Tuberous breasts. The breast versus the nipple also seem to be a different gene. I have seen augmentation where women had the breasts but not the nipples. There also exist people with the nipples but normal breasts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmsavage (talk • contribs) 13:02, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
