What should I do if I have bilateral galactoceles during breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

History of previous treatment and its effectiveness: After an ultrasound at our women and children's hospital, it was found to be bilateral galactoceles. The doctor at the women and children's hospital prescribed Tonglu Granules for oral use, but it didn't completely eliminate the condition. What should I do now? It still hasn't been completely eliminated, and I don't know what medicine or method can be used.

Doctor's answer:

Dear Inquirer,
Hello, due to galactoceles, don’t worry too much. You can avoid surgery for now and address it after weaning. However, during breastfeeding, what you should pay attention to is that if there is any milk left after feeding, try to express it or spit it out. It’s important to persist with daily cold compresses and massage to prevent another accumulation of milk.
After the baby finishes feeding, use a mild saline solution to wipe the nipples, and then rinse them with clean water before feeding again. I hope this helps you, and best wishes!
