Why do breasts squeeze out breast milk after an abortion? 1. During pregnancy, due to the significant increase in the level of female hormone estrogen, the mammary gland tubes in the breasts will expand and increase, the alveoli will fully grow and integrate with each other, the squamous epithelial cells will begin to metabolize, the mammary gland interstitial space will decrease, and the capillaries will expand and swell. These changes are all to make adequate early preparations for breastfeeding. After giving birth, the female hormone estrogen decreases, prolactin is secreted at a high level, and the pregnant woman begins to secrete milk. After an abortion, the female hormone level begins to drop rapidly, which will cause the body's prolactin to begin to secrete, and the breasts will secrete breast milk, which is a normal phenomenon.
