A member asked:

I'm nursing, does a clogged milk duct grow or can it stay the same size for weeks?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Could do anything: A clogged milk duct typically resolves but it could stay the same, decrease or increase in size. It is best to have an exam and confirm that the mass you feel is truly a clogged milk duct.
