That was one of my first treatments but I have two ducts instead of one. It can relieve symptoms but they're temporary. Every patient is different. Mine was only in for either one month or three at the max (it was over two years ago, therefore it's hard for me to recall how long). Due to how narrow my ducts are, the stent didn't help me and my ducts still clogged up. They wouldn't continue to try them with me because too much scar tissue was building up around my ducts. I think if I only had the one duct like normal it would have worked.
