I missed the original post regarding a mom with a leaking incision after
breast surgery.  2 years ago I had a 'suspicious lump' removed from my
breast when my son was 2 months old.  It was a galactocele.  The
sutures/incision line ruptured as milk backed up in the surgery site
where ducts had been damaged, leaving a sinus tract a few mm's in
diameter that sprayed milk every letdown and while bf.  I was encouraged
to wean by the surgeon as I was unsuccessful in stopping or decreasing
production on the affected side.  I stubbornly continued to bf on both
sides wearing a wad of 2x2 gauze taped over the area.   2 weeks later
the hole appeared smaller and then suddenly closed over.  End of problem
:)
I have the complete story available to anyone who would like it.  Email
me privately.
