Hello and thank you for choosing EmpowHer,
A dilated duct in the breast refers to when a milk duct increases in diameter and fluid builds up in the space, creating a painful fluid-filled cyst.
The primary treatment for a dilated duct and cyst is drainage, which removes the fluid from the inside of the cyst and leads to cyst collapse.
In other cases, the affected duct is surgically removed to prevent the development of dilated ducts in the future and stop abnormal nipple discharge.
You will need to speak with you doctor because your doctor will determine the best treatment for you.
