Patient's question:
I have always been in good health, but recently I've noticed lumps inside my breasts. They don't hurt or itch, but it feels very strange. A few days ago, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital, and the doctor said I have galactoceles. I'd like to learn more about galactoceles.What kind of help do you need: What is a galactocoele?
Doctor's answer:
Considering your condition is galactoceles, it often occurs during lactation or pregnancy, especially after weaning during lactation. There may be a history of acute or chronic inflammation, trauma, or surgery, and the affected area is often where there has been previous breast inflammation, trauma, or surgery.1. Pain Most patients experience mild, and if accompanied by secondary infection, the local skin may become red and tender. The lymph nodes in the same armpit are often reduced and tender.
2. Lump The breast lump is round, with a smooth surface that can be moved, feels cystic, has clear boundaries and no tenderness, and is usually 2–5 cm in diameter. It may enlarge on its own after stopping lactation or grow after massage.
