Milk Fistula and Breastfeeding Process: Case Report

Milk fistula is an uncommon condition that occurs when there is an abnormal connection between the skin surface and the lactiferous duct in the lactating woman’s breast. This results in spontaneous drainage of milk. The authors present an unusual case of milk fistula that occurred after draining a galactocele with posterior superinfection and draining the abscess in a lactating woman. The wound was treated locally and breastfeeding was not stopped. Since it was difficult for the wound to heal and it had to be drained constantly, the baby was breastfed only from the non-affected breast.
