title: Galactorrhea after reduction mammaplasty.
abstract: A case of extremely painful swelling of the breasts following a reduction mammaplasty is presented. There were no signs of an abscess or hematoma. A milky white fluid due to galactorrhea was evacuated at operation, and further galactorrhea was inhibited by medication. The pathogenesis of galactorrhea and its treatment are discussed.
