Patient's question:
During lactation, if there are hard lumps in the breasts with fever, a breast pump can extract the milk, and the lumps will become smaller. Before extraction, a few drops of milk were more concentrated, but they became less so afterward. I'm not sure if it's due to breast abscess.Doctor's answer:
Got mastitis, it might be caused by milk accumulation. First, use a warm, damp towel to warm the breast. After the breast softens, use your hands to express the milk. Also, pay attention to anti-infection and symptomatic treatment. Drink more water, eat a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Pay attention to emptying the breast in a timely manner. If there is too much milk, it should also be expressed and discarded.
