Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I had a painless abortion a week ago and noticed many hard lumps on my breasts. If they can heal on their own, I don't want to go to the hospital. Is it true that it's normal to have hard lumps after a miscarriage, and can I skip the hospital visit?Doctor's answer:
After childbirth, if there are hard lumps in the breasts, this may be due to conditions such as mammary gland inflammation and fibrosis, or tumors. It is necessary to promptly visit a hospital for a thorough examination. In this case, you can undergo ultrasound or mammography to confirm the diagnosis. Once the condition is clearly identified, appropriate treatment should be provided. Additionally, it is important to rest, avoid squeezing the breasts, and refrain from heavy physical labor or carrying heavy objects.While undergoing treatment, pay attention to maintaining a light diet and a positive mood. Only with a good mindset and adequate sleep can you recover quickly and overcome the illness.
