title: [Raynaud's phenomenon of the papilla mammae caused by breastfeeding].
abstract: In Denmark, the benefits of breastfeeding are emphasized and the Danish Health and Medicines Authority encourages women to breastfeed for at least six months. Raynaud's phenomenon can occur in any small arteriole and cause painful, temporary ischaemia. Women quit breastfeeding prematurely for a variety of reasons, pain being just one of them. In this case report we describe an incident of Raynaud's phenomenon of the nipple and describe how correct diagnosis can prevent unnecessary medical treatment and cause relief of symptoms, thus avoiding premature cessation of breastfeeding.
