Dr. Ed Friedlanderanswered

Normal: They are made of glands, rolled-up tubes of epithelium (surface-covering cells) that are available to make mucus. The lobules are the units that can make milk when it's time, and they are connected by the 14 or so ducts that normally lead out the nipple. Men may have some development of large and small ducts especially around puberty but almost never lobules.

What helps women lise belly fat(pooch) quickly?

Dr. Francine Mosleyanswered

Healthy takes time!: A belly doesn't develop a "pooch" overnight, and it won't go away overnight. If you have a pooch, for whatever reason, sit- or stand-up straight, suck-in your stomach to strengthen your belly muscles, trade water for soda pop and make good food choices. Your belly will look better.
