Hello and thank you for choosing EmpowHer,
March 13, 2016 - 10:23pmA 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.

Hi Faith
Well I dnt have any pain and neither any cyst is found only the ducts are mildly dilated. There are no problems like pain or itching. Only there is milky discharge which is very rare like once in a month and that too it comes out only on pressing.
So is this dilated ducts problem be treated with medicine
Thank you
