Hi,
The reason its been so long make it essential to rule out breast engorgement after a clinical examination by a breast specialist.
Self limiting is generally a lesion or disease process that resolves in days to weeks.
Regards.
She said it's been 2 years. What exactly, would you say self limiting means?
Hi,
You could be having mastitis or breast engorgement secondary to the clogged milk ducts.
Galactocele or a milk cyst (clogged milk duct) is usually associated with childbirth, in both breast feeding and non-breast feeding mothers. It is a benign condition and self limiting. No medical intervention is usually required. Just maintain a clean hygiene to prevent any super added infection.
Frequent breast feeding, different positions to help drain the milk from the breasts are recommended. You could try breast massage, milking the breast, warm compresses and wear lose clothes. These should help.
If the pain still persists you need to consult your physician to rule out other causes like super added infection etc.
If your symptoms still persist, you should review with your breast specialist to rule out the complications of clogged milk ducts including breast engorgement and mastitis.
Let us know how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.
Regards.
