Patient's question:
On November 20th, I had surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. December 11th, I had mastitis. There was a large hard lump inside, and the breast fistula had expanded.Doctor's answer:
Lumps in the breast are often caused by mastitis, which results from blocked milk ducts and subsequent bacterial infection. If you are not allergic to penicillin, it is recommended to take Cefuroxime tablets and Qingre Sanjie pills for treatment. Apply a warm towel to the breast for cold compress, twice a day, for about 15 minutes each time, to promote its resolution. During this period, avoid spicy and other stimulating foods, drink more water, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.There are many treatment methods for ectopic pregnancy, but the diagnostic approach varies depending on the patient's condition. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
