I was under the impression that breastmilk containing pus must be discarded
in abscess cases, so I was wondering how it is detected that the abscess is
present in the ductal system and not just the interstitial tissues?
Is it only a visual observation of the expressed milk? The texts seem a bit
vague on this point. Or will the surgeon performing the draining procedure
be able to ascertain the extent of the abscess?
A local breast surgeon stated that babies can quite safely continue
breastfeeding/receiving breastmilk even with pus in the breastmilk, but I
can't validate this point-can someone help me here?

Many thanks,
