Patient's question:
I have always been in good health, but recently I noticed a lump in my breast. After a careful examination, it was diagnosed as a galactoma. So, I would like to ask how to treat a galactoma.Doctor's answer:
It should be a prolactinoma, and the onset usually occurs during lactation or pregnancy, especially after weaning during lactation. There may be acute and chronic inflammation, mental trauma, or surgery, with the most common disease locations being breast inflammation, mental trauma, and surgery. Most patients experience mild swelling and pain, such as redness and tenderness of the local skin, accompanied by secondary infection. The ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes are often reduced and softened. The breast mass is round, with a smooth surface, movable, cystic, clear boundaries, and no tenderness, with a diameter of most being 2 to 5 centimeters. After stopping breastfeeding, it will shrink on its own or after massage. A large mass feels sensitive and elastic. When the capsule content becomes viscous, the elasticity disappears, the hardness increases, and it becomes harder, making it easy to be misdiagnosed as breast cancer.
