Edematous areola

An edematous areola is a swollen and tender inflammation of the areola of the breast. It can develop after childbirth when large amounts of fluids are given intravenously, use of pitocin or fluid retention for other reasons. An edematous areola can also develop in women with preeclampsia.^[1]
