How is breast milk retention cyst treated?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How is breast milk cyst treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if this phenomenon reappears, it should be treated early. The main measure is to incise the abscess and drain the pus. When performing the surgery, anesthesia measures should be taken to prevent damage to the milk ducts, which could lead to galactorrhea. Radial incision can be made. For breast cysts, color ultrasound is generally used for careful examination. When this disease occurs, breastfeeding is usually not stopped because milk accumulation would further exacerbate the symptoms.
