>would you please explain what you mean by "puncturing the duct'

Sure!  In this case the duct that was plugged was on the top of the breast,
it was raised, about the size of a really big pea.  It was punctured with a
sterile needle, a bigger gauge (yes, ouch... but the mom was in a great deal
of pain already),  The curdled milk came out in a long stream (yes, ewww).
The LC who did it was also an RN, personally this is way over my head at
this point :O)  Give me several years of experience first.
