RESUMEN
Para crear el mundo que se vislumbra en la Declaración del Milenio, aprobada en las Naciones Unidas, es esencial la igualdad entre los géneros. En las mujeres, que son las cuidadoras primarias de los niños, cada día es más preocupante el abandono parcial —o total— de la lactancia natural. En la etapa embrionaria el desarrollo de las estructuras que forman los tejidos mamarios es el mismo para ambos sexos. Las tetillas en los varones, que son el equivalente de las mamas en la mujer, por mucho tiempo fueron consideradas un misterio, pues aparentemente no cumplen con ninguna función biológica y cuya presencia plantea un problema para la teoría de la evolución. Sin embargo, de diferentes latitudes del planeta se reportan hombres que han logrado una lactancia inducida con solo la succión frecuente y prolongada del bebé. Si esto ha ocurrido en hombres con mamas subdesarrolladas, ¿cómo es posible que las mujeres, que están mejor preparadas para este fin, abandonen la lactancia? Ante la interrogante de ¿puede el hombre lactar?, se realizó una búsqueda sobre lactancia masculina online a través de Infomed e Internet, visitas a Bibliotecas especializadas y al Hospital Universitario Calixto García de la capital. El resultado de la búsqueda es sorprendente…, hasta en Cuba hubo un camagüeyano que lactó a su hija durante 22 meses(AU)
ABSTRACT
For the creation of the world that the UN-approved Millennium Statement envisages, it is essential to achieve the gender equality. It is a growing concern today that many women, who are the primary caregivers of children, stop partially or completely breastfeeding their children. In the embryonic stage, the development of the structures making up the mammary tissue is the same for males and females. Men's teats, which are equivalent to women's breasts, were considered for a very long time a mystery since they do not seem to perform any function and represent a problem for the theory of evolution. However, there have been reports from different parts of the world about lactation induced by men when the baby sucks on their teats in a frequent and prolonged way. If this happens in men whose mammary glands are underdeveloped, how is it possible that women who are better fit for this purpose cease to breastfeed the child? Looking for an answer to the question Can man lactate too?, data search was made online through Infomed and Internet as well as visits were paid to specialized libraries and to Calixto Garcia hospital in the Cuban capital. The result was surprising since even in Cuba, there was a man in Camaguey province who managed to lactate his daughter for 22 months(AU)
