Galactography Treatment in India

Anika Iyer, a 42-year-old software architect and mother of two, had been breastfeeding her youngest child until six months ago. For the past three months, she'd noticed a persistent, clear discharge from her right nipple, which was sometimes streaked with blood. It wasn't painful, but the constant spotting on her bras was a source of deep anxiety. Her family history was clear of breast cancer, but the symptom was unnerving. Her primary care physician referred her to a general surgeon, Dr. Mehta. After a clinical exam showed no palpable lump, Dr. Mehta explained that the discharge likely came from a single duct and recommended a galactogram. 'It's an X-ray of the milk ducts,' she said gently. 'We'll inject a tiny amount of contrast dye into the duct opening on your nipple to see if there's a small growth or blockage causing this.' Anika felt a sharp pinch during the local anesthetic and a strange pressure as the dye was injected, but the procedure was quick. The images revealed a small, benign intraductal papilloma, a tiny wart-like growth. It was removed a week later in a minor surgical procedure under local anesthesia. The recovery was straightforward, with only mild soreness. Emotionally, Anika moved from weeks of silent dread, imagining the worst, to profound relief. The procedure provided a clear answer, transforming her fear into a manageable, solved problem, allowing her to focus back on her family and career without the shadow of uncertainty.
