In "rusty pipe syndrome" cases, if the infant tolerates the milk, then breastfeeding can be continued and encouraged to strengthen exclusive breastfeeding practice for 6 months.…”

Rusty pipe syndrome" is a condition that needs to be considered in a primiparous woman who presents with bilateral bloody nipple discharge in the early postpartum period. Its prevalence is low and can occur due to physiological condition that arises primarily in primiparous women with increased alveolar and ductal vascularization associated with the onset of lactation. Here, we report a case of a 29-year-old primigravida who presented with bilateral painless bloody nipple discharge after delivery. Her breast examination showed no signs of infection or structural changes, and breast ultrasound did not reveal any significant observations except for a bilateral simple breast cyst. Six days after the onset of lactation, the bloody nipple discharge ceased and lactation continued on demand.

“…Si el recién nacido tolera adecuadamente la secreción, la lactancia materna debe promoverse (13); no obstante, el consumo de la leche sanguinolenta puede generar regurgitación y vómito en el recién nacido, en cuyo caso se podría considerar el uso temporal de leche de fórmula mientras la telorragia se resuelve (13). Es importante tener en cuenta que la presencia de vómito sanguinolento en el neonato podría hacer pensar en una hemorragia digestiva del recién nacido.…”

Objetivos: Realizar el primer reporte de caso de Síndrome de Tuberías Oxidadas en Colombia, buscando brindar herramientas al personal de salud que permitan plantearse diagnósticos diferenciales en pacientes con telorrea sanguinolenta. Reporte de caso: Paciente puerperal de 33 años en post parto vaginal eutócico quien presentó telorragia bilateral indolora en las primeras horas posteriores al parto. Se realizó coloración gram de la secreción, la cual mostro escasa reacción leucocitaria y cocos gram positivos. El ultrasonido mostró un BIRADS I. La telorrea resolvió espontáneamente. Se consideró que la paciente cursaba con un Síndrome de Tuberías Oxidadas. Conclusiones: El Síndrome de tuberías oxidadas es una condición clínica poco conocida, que no suele estar dentro de los diagnósticos diferenciales en los casos de telorragia asociada a la lactancia. Las publicaciones a nivel latinoamericano son muy limitadas. Palabras clave: Lactancia materna, leche humana, período posparto, trastornos puerperales (DeCs).
