Patient's question:
One day, while the child was breastfeeding, I felt hard lumps again. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was a galactoceles and that it didn't need to be treated, suggesting I wait until we wean the child to address it. However, a few days ago, the area where the cyst was became blocked again. After a day, the milk finally came out, but the area around the cyst was very painful. So, I went for another check-up and had a needle aspiration done. At the time, it seemed to subside, but later it hardened up again and became very painful. The child is now 7 months old.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, this belongs to repeated galactoceles. You can consider weaning. After weaning, you can treat the accumulated milk, and after that, it may stop secreting milk and possibly resolve.
