How to eliminate maternal armpit lumps?

It is a common phenomenon for postpartum women to have lumps under their arms. It may be a normal physiological phenomenon. Due to the influence of oxytocin, a large amount of milk accumulates. If it is not discharged in time, it is easy to form a lump. Another case is breast lump, which is caused by bad breast tissue. In this case, there will be no pain, and proper massage and hot compress can make the lump disappear.

1. Normal physiological phenomena

After giving birth, a woman's body will secrete a large amount of oxytocin. This is a normal physiological reaction of humans, because women need to breastfeed their children after giving birth. If a woman is unable to breastfeed and secrete milk normally, it may cause a large accumulation of milk. If there is too much milk accumulation, it may cause lumps under the armpits. In this case, the patient needs to express milk in time to avoid infection caused by milk stasis.

2. Breast lumps

Some women have lumps under their armpits because of a type of breast disease, but this type of breast tissue is congenitally poor. This tissue is called accessory breast. It does not secrete milk and does not cause pain. Patients can use saltpeter hot compress for 24 hours and do massage to reduce swelling. Generally speaking, patients do not feel pain. If the patient experiences pain, he or she can take painkillers under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Correct treatment

If a woman has a lump in her armpit that is extremely painful, it may be because there is a disease in her breast, such as cancer, mastitis, etc. In this case, women should go to the hospital for a chest scan to confirm the condition. If the lump is caused by mastitis, anti-inflammatory drugs need to be used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. If it is caused by breast cancer, it may be necessary to remove the diseased tissue in the breast.

To sum up, there are many reasons why women develop lumps in their armpits after childbirth. Patients should not worry too much about this. They should go to the hospital in time, explain their condition to the doctor in detail, and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. Women should pay attention to rest and eat a light diet during the illness, and drink more water to promote excretion. Patients can use massage and warm compresses to unblock the blocked mass.
