Pseudocongestive Nipple

Pseudoconstrictive nipple is the medical term for changes in the size and shape of the nipple in women. This symptom is not a disease as such, but can lead to serious consequences if you do not pay attention to its cause.

One of the main reasons for the appearance of a pseudostagnant nipple is a change in hormonal levels in a woman’s body. This may be due to the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, menopause, or other hormonal changes. In addition, a similar condition can occur with various diseases of the mammary glands, such as a cyst or breast cancer.

Symptoms of a pseudocongestive nipple may include changes in the size and shape of the breast, tenderness to palpation, swelling and redness of the skin around the nipple, and discharge from it.

If you notice similar symptoms in yourself, then you need to contact a mammologist who will diagnose



**Pseudocongestive sucker,** or **false sucker** is one of the pathological conditions of the breast associated with changes in the breast and its individual parts of the breast. It occurs in women after they have reached puberty and the breasts take on a shape that changes throughout a woman's cycles. Pseudocongestion can be a sign of infection (such as mastitis or a blocked milk duct) or traumatic tissue damage, and may also indicate the presence of a tumor. If left untreated, it can lead to breast cancer. The term itself comes from the French - incorrectly formed. This term is mainly used in relation to breastfeeding, but is also applicable to all people who have the opportunity, even if extremely limited, to breastfeed.

Some types of breastfeeding can affect breast function, so women need to be aware of how their feeding style may affect their breasts if they want to feed their babies. When milk produces a milk protein called casein, this protein can come into contact with glandular cells and cause a jelly-like reaction on the skin of the breast.
