Abstract:
The breast undergoes numerous physiological changes during pregnancy to prepare for breastfeeding, making breast assessment difficult in these patients. Breast engorgement is the consequence of an asynchrony between lactogenesis, already operational, and the milk ejection mechanisms, which are still ineffective. It is characterized by an accumulation of fluids in the mammary gland with significant difficulty in evacuation, occurs after childbirth, rarely during pregnancy, raising numerous diagnostic hypotheses. We reported the case of two patients of childbearing age, without notable pathological history, hospitalized in our department as part of the management of a high-risk pregnancy, one having received antenatal corticosteroid therapy for fetal lung maturation and aldomet for high blood pressure figures with obstetric ultrasound having revealed intrauterine growth retardation, the 2nd parturient having also received antenatal corticosteroid therapy, the 2 parturients present a bilateral and painful increase in both breasts 24 hours after the last course of corticosteroid therapy, the treatment uses physical measures with good improvement.
