What Causes Breast Lumps and Pain During Breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

Breast lumps and pain during lactation, what's the reason for the large lump under the armpit?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that mothers should not stop breastfeeding. On the one hand, the baby can refine the mother's milk through sucking, which can alleviate mastitis. On the other hand, stopping breastfeeding can also affect the baby's nutritional intake. It needs to be noted that when the breast becomes inflamed again, mothers should stop breastfeeding and express the milk themselves. In severe cases, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment, promptly incise the part of the infected abscess to prevent the condition from worsening.
