Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Occurred early maturation of formula milk, so they only noticed the baby's chest now, how to feel there are some hard lumps inside the baby's chest, oh my god, what's going on, it's killing me!Past Treatment and Effects: Only visited pediatric emergency.
Help Needed: Want to know if it's normal for a baby's chest to have hard lumps during normal development.
Doctor's answer:
Due to the influence of maternal hormones during the fetal period, both female and male infants may experience the phenomenon of hardened breasts. This is a normal physiological occurrence and generally does not require treatment. However, it is not excluded that abnormal lesions may occur later, so all parents should not be complacent and must pay close attention. If you have concerns, you can take your child to a regular hospital's thoracic surgery department for examination. Professional doctors can assess the situation, and if necessary, perform tests such as sex hormone level tests to confirm the diagnosis and consider whether there is endocrine dysfunction.
