Breast lumps are due to fibrocystic changes?

Patient's question:

I am currently breastfeeding and don't know what's going on, but there are two hard lumps inside my breasts. I tried massaging them, but it didn't help at all. Hello doctor, are the lumps in the breasts due to mammary hyperplasia? What should I do? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

Hello, during breastfeeding, if there are hard lumps in the breasts, it is likely caused by milk stasis. If the pain recurs, it may indicate mastitis. It is important to promptly clear the accumulated milk from the breasts to prevent inflammation from spreading. In severe cases, it may lead to fever and inflammation, requiring surgical treatment. Wishing you good health.
