What is GALACTOCELE? Blocked Milk Ducts

What is GALACTOCELE? 🙏🏼 BE PART OF OUR FAMILY FROM THIS LINK:    / @dailydoseofmedicinee   Galactocele, also known as lactocele, or a lacteal cyst, is a rare benign retention cyst of the breast, defined as a milk-filled cyst. The term galactocele is derived from the Greek words 'galatea,' meaning milky white, and '-cele' meaning pouch. It occurs almost exclusively in lactating females presenting as painless rounded swellings, either unilaterally or bilaterally. Although a galactocele can occur anywhere along the milk line extending from the axilla to the groin, it has a predilection to form in the retro-areolar region of the breasts. It is important to differentiate galactoceles from other diseases of the breast, e.g., cysts, fibroadenomas, abscesses, or carcinomas. Ultrasound is the preferred modality for the diagnosis. Fine needle aspiration (FNA), resulting in a milky fluid, is often diagnostic and therapeutic How does a galactocele form? Galactoceles are caused by any kind of blockage in the ducts of the breast during or just after stopping lactation. While breast carcinomas may sometimes cause a blockage which results in a galactocele, these lesions are due to more routine and benign causes in a majority of women How is galactocele treated? Treatment is by aspiration of the contents or by excision of the cyst. Antibiotics are given to prevent infection. Galactoceles may be associated with oral contraceptive use. They have been known to present, although rarely, after Breast augmentation and Breast reduction. Does galactocele go away? Your doctor may take a sample of the contents of the cyst, or order an ultrasound to confirm that it's benign. Galactoceles usually go away on their own when you stop breastfeeding. How do I confirm galactocele? An infected galactocele is usually clinically suspected and is easily confirmed with fine-needle aspiration when mixed purulent and milky material is obtained. Is galactocele cancerous? Galactoceles can mimic fibroadenomas as well as breast carcinomas, but they are always non-cancerous and do not increase the risk of breast cancer in any way. 👇🙏🏼 BEST LINK ON THE WHOLE INTERNET https://linktr.ee/dailydoseofmedicinee PROMOTION&DEALS&EVERYTHING: [email protected] (with 2 e) #GALACTOCELE #surgery #fibroadenoma #breastcyst £$ How long does it take for a blocked duct to clear? –2 days Most clogged ducts resolve within 1–2 days, with or without treatment. Regular, consistent breastfeeding is the fastest way to resolve a clogged duct. It is essential to empty the breast with the clogged duct completely during each breastfeeding session. #mammogram
