A. A galactocele is a milk-filled cyst that can form in the breast, typically due to blocked milk ducts. The size reduction of the galactocele you mentioned from 1.8 cm to 1.6 cm is a positive sign, but it's important to note that the time it takes for a galactocele to completely resolve can vary based on factors like its size, the body's response to the cyst, and whether or not there's any ongoing pressure or blockage. Since you've stopped breastfeeding, the milk production should gradually cease, which can help in the resolution of the galactocele. It may take several weeks to a few months for the galactocele to completely dissolve, as the body absorbs the milk inside the cyst. However, 2 mm reduction in size within a short period is a good indication that the process is moving in the right direction. If the galactocele does not shrink over time or if you notice any pain, redness, or further changes, it’s important to consult your doctor. In some cases, if it persists, other treatments like aspiration (draining the cyst) or surgical intervention may be considered. Always follow up with your healthcare provider for advice specific to your situation.
