How to deal with large lumps in the breast during lactation?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How should I deal with large lumps in my breasts during breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

I. Mothers can use warm towels to apply cold compresses to the breasts, improve blood circulation, and reduce symptoms.
II. Massage the breasts to clear blocked milk ducts.
III. Do not stop breastfeeding. Let the baby suck more milk to increase milk retention. There may be pain during breastfeeding, but mothers should persist. Regardless of the situation, it is important to clear the milk ducts and increase milk accumulation.
IV. If there is still milk left after the baby finishes feeding, mothers should decide to manually express the milk. A breast pump can be used to help with milk expression.
V. Pay attention to controlling the amount of nutrition after giving birth. More is not always better.
