Had ID surgery for a breast abscess 4 days ago with drain pipes still in place. During my dressing today, the surgeon noticed a possible fistula forming and advised me to pump the affected breast. Only a few drops of milk come out when I pump, but there's more leakage from the drain pipes. Would taking milk suppression meds help prevent the fistula? Are there any serious short or long-term side effects of those meds?
Milk suppression meds like cabergoline may help reduce leakage—discuss with your surgeon to prevent fistula formation.
