IntroductionMilk fistula is rare, and cessation of nursing has been recommended for treatment. We performed a comprehensive review of all existing literature to explore the causes of milk fistulae and the necessity of discontinuing breastfeeding, and mention our recommendations given our present practice.MethodGoogle Scholar, Pubmed, Ovid Medline, and Scopus were thoroughly investigated by using relevant keywords. After screening by reading titles, abstracts, and full texts of returned studies, pertinent articles were included and data extracted.ResultsSeventeen studies including 27 cases were included. Lactation ceased in 16 patients, but this was generally done without awaiting results of conservative management.ConclusionWe recommend measures for preventing milk fistulae, conservative measures for treatment, and continuation of breastfeeding throughout the process until healing occurs.
