Patient's question:
The baby is still breastfeeding, and there is an oval-shaped lump in the right breast. It doesn't hurt when pressed, has a smooth surface, and can be moved. There are also many blocky milk clumps. When the breast is pressed, there is a sense of fullness and pain. The baby is still breastfeeding, and the hospital says surgery is needed. I don't know if it should be done now or wait a few months after the baby weans. I am very anxious and don't know what to do. Is surgery necessary? Are there other options? Postpartum 40 days, the baby often doesn't finish eating the milk.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Breast cyst, also known as galactorrhea, is caused by the blockage of milk flow in one lactiferous duct during lactation, leading to the accumulation of milk within the breast. The main clinical manifestation is a palpable breast mass.Advice: Treatment for your condition primarily involves surgical intervention. However, it is recommended to first try medication, such as applying 50g of breast engorgement cream externally daily. If the condition remains severe when the child is older, surgical treatment may be necessary. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
