Patient's question:
Postpartum engorgement and blocked milk ducts, later developing hard lumps in the breasts. After a thorough examination, it was discovered to be mammary hyperplasia. What should I do? How effective is traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in treating mammary hyperplasia? How much does it cost to treat mammary hyperplasia? How long does it take for TCM treatment to work? Can mammary hyperplasia still be used for contraception?Doctor's answer:
If there is a hard lump in the breast again after childbirth, it is mostly caused by the accumulation of milk due to blocked milk ducts. If a thorough examination reveals the issue of mammary hyperplasia, treatment is not recommended for the time being. Medication can be administered after weaning. Generally, traditional Chinese medicine treatment is chosen, which is not very expensive. It is also important to pay attention to breast care. Mammary hyperplasia usually does not affect contraception, but it may affect milk discharge.
