Any disease or abnormal condition related to milk production, secretion, or milk-related tissues in the body.
From Greek 'gala' (milk) + 'pathos' (disease or suffering). Medical term using the standard -pathy suffix for any disease.
Galactopathies range from harmless (like blocked milk ducts) to serious (like infections), but the term reminds us that lactation involves complex biology that can go wrong.
