Galactoceles: A
galactocele is a cyst filled
with milk that's often the result of a blocked milk duct.
You may need several aspirations as the
galactocele may refill

A woman
with previous breast surgery can get mastitis (infection of the breast tissues),
galactocele formation (a milk filled tumor in your breast) and even galactorrhea (lactation that occurs without the occurrence of pregnancy or childbirth).
(I would encourage anyone who thinks that they may have a
galactocele to read this first - hand account of someone who had one, along
with her update, and this scientific explanation of how they are diagnosed.
After 4 occurrences of mastitis, the lump didn't leave my boob and I was diagnosed
with having a
galactocele.
