Patient's question:
I noticed pain when lightly pressing my breasts and a lump when touched during diaper changes. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with a breast cyst. I have now stopped breastfeeding because I'm afraid it's not good for the baby. I heard from others that milk retention cysts can resolve on their own. Do milk retention cysts require treatment?Doctor's answer:
