Patient's question:
I am 25 years old, female. Every 10 days before my period, my breasts start to feel slightly sore, and there are hard lumps when touched. It gets a bit better after I massage them myself. The pain disappears after my period comes. How should I deal with breast soreness and hard lumps after childbirth?Doctor's answer:
If you are breastfeeding, the breast pain may be caused by milk stasis. You can use a warm towel (not too hot) to apply it to your breasts for 5 to 10 minutes, gently massage your chest, and gently express milk. It is recommended to let the baby suckle more, or you can use a breast pump to extract the milk. If the lump does not disappear and the pain does not decrease, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The patient needs to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examination according to their own condition, so that they can be treated accordingly and recover quickly.
