Doctor's answer:

Galactophoritis is caused by irregular hyperplasia of the breast duct epithelium, dysfunction of secretion, and the accumulation of lipid-like secretions in large ducts under the nipple and areola, leading to duct dilation. Later, the accumulated substances decompose, and the resulting chemicals continuously stimulate surrounding tissues, causing inflammation. This condition is often misdiagnosed as breast tuberculosis or breast cancer. It is recommended to actively seek medical attention for blood tests and ultrasound examinations to clarify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.
