Patient's question:
Hello doctor, yesterday I felt that my body wasn't feeling well, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor told me that I have galactoceles. Could you please explain what a galactocoele is? Why did I get this disease?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned is that you suddenly felt unwell, then underwent a thorough examination, and were diagnosed with a lactational cyst. This condition primarily occurs during early pregnancy and lactation, as a result of blocked milk ducts leading to milk accumulation, which then causes inflammation. The inflammatory fibrosis gradually forms a cyst. In this case, heat application and physical therapy can be effective. After treatment, it is important to regularly visit the hospital for follow-up examinations.
