Correct treatment for breast milk retention cysts

Patient's question:

I have recently been experiencing pain in my breasts. After a careful examination, I found out that I have breast milk cysts. How should I treat this?

Doctor's answer:

This issue should be addressed as soon as possible. The main measures involve incising the abscess and draining the pus. Good anesthesia should be used during the surgery to prevent milk leakage due to damage to the milk ducts and to allow radial incision. For breast cysts, color Doppler MRI is typically performed for careful examination and detection. When this condition recurs, breastfeeding is usually not stopped because the accumulation of milk can further exacerbate the symptoms. Breast cysts can be somewhat relieved through massage or by taking blood-activating and anti-inflammatory medications. However, for specific treatment, it is necessary to consult a doctor in the hospital and then implement symptomatic treatment according to the doctor's guidance. In daily life, it is important to avoid spicy foods and maintain a positive attitude, minimize anger, and exercise regularly.
