Sounds like this might be a galactocoele - a stretchy pouch in a duct 
wall that fills and empties as the breast does. I don't think there 
is a lot you can do for these except try to keep them as empty as 
possible, as they can cause blockages and mastitis. In extreme cases, 
I believe surgeons can remove just that duct.

Others may know more.
