Doctor's answer:

Hello, the cysts caused by milk stasis are formed due to the blockage of individual lobules or small ducts in the breast, leading to the accumulation of secreted milk within the ducts. This condition is relatively common during breastfeeding. Treatment depends on the size of the cyst. If it is large, surgical removal of the mass should be considered, along with pathological examination, or puncture treatment may be performed. If the cyst is small and surgery cannot locate it, careful observation can be done first, followed by treatment with traditional Chinese medicine.
