I stopped BFing about 2 months ago and have what appeared at first to be a clogged duct on my right breast. The area has grown a little bit, is perfectly round and hard as a rock. It isn't red or sore. I kept thinking it would go away but it hasn't over the past month so I went to get it looked at today. The doctor thinks it's a cyst and ordered an ultrasound. Of course they can't get me in until next Thursday so you know my mind is all over the place. My mom did a little trusty google research and found something about a Galactocele.
Defn: Galactocele is an abnormality similar to a cyst, but filled with thick milk. Galactocele is usually round and freely mobile. It generally occurs after cessation of breastfeeding or when feeding frequency is significantly reduced.
Anybody ever had this or known someone that has? (I don't know that this is what I have and won't until another week but it seems very likely.....)
