What to do if there are lumps in the breast

Many women experience breast swollen and lumps. There are many reasons for this, including milk blockage in the mother's breasts or breast diseases such as mastitis. When faced with the situation of breast swollen and lumps, people need to pay special attention and take measures to deal with it in time to prevent more serious situations. The following is a detailed introduction on what to do if there are breast swollen and lumps.

Overview:

Breastfeeding women, especially first-time mothers, have excessive milk secretion, lack of breastfeeding experience or blocked milk ducts, which causes excessive milk accumulation in the breasts. This causes noticeable breast swelling and sometimes lumps, often accompanied by obvious pain. The breasts become noticeably hot and hard, causing great pain to women.

Symptomatic treatment recommendations:

Some women often give up breastfeeding because of poor milk flow or inverted nipples, which make it inconvenient for the baby to suck and they cannot suck out milk. Many women, especially first-time mothers, lack experience and do not know how to deal with it, which leads to a large accumulation of milk in the breasts. Because the mammary glands are constantly secreting milk, the amount of milk in the mammary glands increases, the breasts become noticeably swollen and hard, and there is pain, and sometimes a feeling of heat. Over time, it often causes bacteria to grow and multiply in the tissues, leading to the onset of mastitis. If mastitis is not treated in time, it will often become purulent, causing destruction of a large amount of breast tissue, seriously affecting breast function and breast appearance.

Generally, when women experience breast engorgement, mothers can apply a hot towel to the breasts and use their fingers to massage outwards along the direction of the mammary ducts. And gently massage the areola and nipple. Use a breast pump or other tools to suck out the inverted nipple, and gently pull it outwards. Different conditions of the milk ducts can be easily solved. Once the milk ducts are unobstructed, milk can be easily discharged, and milk swelling will no longer occur, and breast lumps will no longer appear.

Note:

Women with inverted nipples should pull their nipples outwards regularly. With more pulling, the nipples will no longer be inverted.

Women who often experience breast engorgement can gently massage their breasts frequently and apply hot towels.

Sometimes, due to excessive milk secretion, the baby cannot empty the breast, so you can use a breast pump to empty it.
