Yactation

Yactation is a symptom characterized by the sudden and uncontrolled discharge of milk from the breast. It usually occurs in women who have recently given birth, but can also occur in women who have not been pregnant. Yactation usually develops gradually, with the affected breast becoming swollen and tender, and a milky fluid leaking from the nipple. In some cases, the leakage may be accompanied by pain or itching. Yactation can be a sign of an underlying medical condition, such as mastitis or an infection, so it is important to seek medical attention if it occurs.
