Breast cyst

The cyst of galactostasia, also known as milk retention cyst, or stagnation of milk. It is a benign disease of pregnant and lactating women. The disease was thought to be relatively rare in the past, and has been reported in China in recent years. This disease is caused by a blockage of a small leaflet or duct of the breast during lactation, resulting in poor milk discharge and retention in the duct to expand and form a cyst. It appears as a lump in the breast and is often mistaken for a benign breast tumor (fibroadenoma). Occasionally it can be misdiagnosed as a breast malignant tumor, so it should be paid attention to.
