Which tunnels right into and through the lactiferous sinus area, or
subareolar
ducts, if you prefer the label, and punctures one or more  of them, creating

a "surgical sinus-pathway" to the outside! The more leakage that occurs,
the more milk mother nature figures the baby is consuming, and so the more
that is produced! I once had an email discussion with a mother about such
a severe case. I am unable to find it in the lactnet archives, so I guess it

must have been a private conversaion.
