Common symptoms include:

• Painless or mildly painful breast lump
• Smooth, round, movable lump
• Breast swelling or heaviness
• Tenderness or discomfort
• Lump developing during or after breastfeeding
• Change in breast size or shape
• Occasionally redness or pain if infection develops

A persistent breast lump should be evaluated by a doctor to confirm whether it is a galactocele or another breast condition.

Causes

• Blocked milk ducts
• Milk retention inside the breast
• Sudden stopping of breastfeeding
• Reduced milk drainage
• Thickened breast milk within a duct

Risk Factors

• Breastfeeding or recent breastfeeding
• Irregular feeding or pumping
• Oversupply of breast milk
• Previous blocked milk ducts
• Pressure or trauma to the breast
• Incomplete breast emptying

Most galactoceles are benign and uncomplicated, but possible complications include:

• Breast pain or discomfort
• Increase in lump size
• Infection or breast abscess
• Redness and swelling
• Recurrent milk-filled cyst
• Difficulty with breastfeeding
• Pressure on nearby breast tissue
• Need for aspiration if the cyst becomes large or painful

Do not wait for symptoms to become severe. Specialist review is recommended when symptoms are persistent, recurrent, or worsening.

• Symptoms continue despite basic care for a few days
• Frequent recurrence or worsening symptom pattern
• New pain, swelling, fever, bleeding, or reduced activity tolerance
• Need for second opinion before deciding procedure or surgery

Diagnosis usually includes:

• Clinical breast examination
• Breast ultrasound to identify a milk-filled cyst
• Review of breastfeeding and pregnancy history
• Mammography in selected cases when needed
• Needle aspiration to confirm milk-like fluid inside the cyst
• Additional tests if the lump appears unusual or does not resolve

Breast ultrasound is commonly the first imaging test used to evaluate a suspected galactocele.

The treatment process usually includes:

• Doctor consultation and breast examination
• Breast ultrasound to confirm the galactocele
• Observation if the cyst is small and painless
• Ultrasound-guided aspiration if the cyst is large or uncomfortable
• Drainage of the milk-filled cyst using a fine needle
• Medication if infection or inflammation is present
• Follow-up ultrasound or examination to check for recurrence
• Surgery only in rare cases if the galactocele repeatedly returns or does not improve

Most patients can return to normal activities soon after aspiration.
