<meta name="description" content="Although controlled studies have not been performed, piercing of the nipples seems to not interfere with lactation in most cases,[1,2] although poor latching, and milk leakage from the infant's mouth have been reported.[3] Some breast jewelry may pierce the areola as well as the nipple. Reversible hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea occurred in two individuals who developed infections of the nipple and mastitis. Infections are estimated to occur after 10% to 20% of nipple piercings. Healing time after nipple piercing is 6 to 12 months, and up to a year longer if infection or trauma occur. Occasionally, mastitis occurs after piercing.[4] A theoretical concern is aspiration of the nipple jewelry by the nursing infant and injury of the infant's mouth and gums. Although these complications apparently have not been reported, nipple jewelry should be removed before nursing,[3,5,6] and preferably during the entire duration of breastfeeding.[7]">

rid="LM1002.REF.1">1</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#LM1002.REF.2" rid="LM1002.REF.2">2</a>] although poor latching, and milk leakage from the infant's mouth have been reported.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM1002.REF.3" rid="LM1002.REF.3">3</a>] Some breast jewelry may pierce the areola as well as the nipple. Reversible hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea occurred in two individuals who developed infections of the nipple and mastitis. Infections are estimated to occur after 10% to 20% of nipple piercings. Healing time after nipple piercing is 6 to 12 months, and up to a year longer if infection or trauma occur. Occasionally, mastitis occurs after piercing.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM1002.REF.4" rid="LM1002.REF.4">4</a>] A theoretical concern is aspiration of the nipple jewelry by the nursing infant and injury of the infant's mouth and gums. Although these complications apparently have not been reported, nipple jewelry should be removed before nursing,[<a class="bibr" href="#LM1002.REF.3" rid="LM1002.REF.3">3</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#LM1002.REF.5" rid="LM1002.REF.5">5</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#LM1002.REF.6" rid="LM1002.REF.6">6</a>] and preferably during the entire duration of breastfeeding.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM1002.REF.7" rid="LM1002.REF.7">7</a>]</p></div><div id="LM1002.Effects_in_Breastfed_Infants"><h3>Effects in Breastfed Infants</h3><p>Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.</p></div><div id="LM1002.Effects_on_Lactation_and_Breastmi"><h3>Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk</h3><p>Nipple piercing has caused mastitis in nursing and nonnursing women and at least one man.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM1002.REF.3" rid="LM1002.REF.3">3</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#LM1002.REF.6" rid="LM1002.REF.6">6</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#LM1002.REF.8" rid="LM1002.REF.8">8</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#LM1002.REF.9" rid="LM1002.REF.9">9</a>] In some of these patients, hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea resulted.
