Patient's question:
The baby is breastfeeding, maybe it accidentally squashed it, there is a lump and it hurts, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the situation you described is likely caused by milk stasis leading to breast cysts. It is recommended to start with local massage to express the milk first. If the pain persists, you will need to seek treatment from the breast surgery department at the hospital. If a white blood cell count increase is detected, it supports the diagnosis of mastitis. Once confirmed, antibiotic treatment should be administered to reduce inflammation. If an abscess forms, it will require incision and drainage followed by dressing changes.
