I'm seeing a mom tomorrow who called me re a galactocele that, as the books 
say, keeps refilling despite aspiration under ultrasound.  My question is 
related to treatment and interim breastfeeding.  Since  Lawrence says surgery is 
recommended and the Breastfeeding Atlas describes the same (tho mom weaned in 
case described), is treatment of possible previous blocked ducts with Lecithin 
recommended?  Is there any other non-invasive method of treatment?  

I have never worked with mom with galactocele nor even an abscess and am 
seeing her tomorrow.  I would like to give her all the options possible.  Thank 
you.
