I is not advisable to undergo any surgery at 32 weeks unless its a emergency surgery. Duct pailloma is affection of usually single duct. It can definitely wait till the delivery of child and also for 6 months after deliver-- till the time you are exlusively breast feeding the baby.
Also you can safely feed the baby
Take Care
