i have a strong need to lactate. i am 50 and had a historectomy long time ago and was told that lactation only can be induced through medication and of course daily pumpings. Does anyone has some advice or experience to share?

i nursed two for a combined total of 28 months. Best info i can offer is that the best experience with successful lactation occurs naturally as a result of having endured pregnancy & given birth.
Lactation occurs as a result of a specific balance between the female hormones.
As i did nurse, and did pump at times, i can tell you based on personal experience, that induced lactation would be quite the chore for most, especially for anyone above average childbearing age. Having had a hysterectomy, depending on which method was used for that (complete or partial ... ovaries included or not etc) .... may only prove to add to any difficulties experienced.
i'm sure this topic has been covered before. Click on search up at the top right corner of this page, typo in some relative key words etc ect ... to read more.

Lactation has nothing to do with the ovaries. It is directly related to pituatary glands aka sweat glands. Anyone can lactate, it takes time and patience. Working the nipples and breasts by massaging and stimulai 4 or more times a day for at least 15 minutes each time will result in lacation after a few months.

O often wondered--is lacation harmful to the adult male? I would think milk is Milk

What?? The pituitary gland (there is only one BTW, and it's attached to the hypothalamus at the base of the brain) is not also known as 'sweat glands.' The pituitary produces, among other hormones, prolactin and oxytocin which stimulate the production of milk. Sweat glands produce, strangely enough, sweat.

The OP can look at the following resource for information: Introduction to Induced Lactation

Yep, you have the facts straight, stef.

Been a long time since i've had to think about the subject of lactation.
Rusty on the subject these days.
Got my facts criss-crossed.
My bad, apologies.

Estrogen suppresses lactation.
The of administration of estrogen through hormonal therapy can be useful to induce lactation in order to simulate the high-estrogen state of pregnancy (which is where my thinking got derailed, in my previous post, above). The intake of estrogen would then be abruptly stopped, to mimic the rapid hormonal changes which follow delivery.

As far as hysterectomies go: Removal of the ovaries greatly reduces the amount of circulating estrogen in the body. my guess aka my opinion would it would be easier to induce lactation where the ovaries are still present.

Usually, drugs would be necessary to initiate lactation if you are not pregnant. The drugs combined with pumping may produce lactation. Many women who adopt try this method so they can nurse. I've known several women who have tried (three) when adopting. None were successful. Good luck, tho!

i do not know what affect your hysterectomy might have, but do not let your age concern you. i know of someone older than you who (says she) lactates. And i have seen first hand a woman accidently leak milk, who is already a Grandmother and had not nursed anyone in over 2 decades when her milk "came in".

Humbly,
