Patient's question:
I am still breastfeeding, and my breasts are still swollen. The doctor said it's breast cancer. I had surgery to remove breast cancer at the hospital. I want to ask what to eat during the postpartum period for mastitis.Doctor's answer:
Postpartum lactation should not be too rushed. Postpartum nutrition and digestion are not at their best. Fish soup, meat soup, or milk and chicken soup must be consumed based on the amount of milk being excreted. Mastitis is a major disease that threatens women's health. Pain often recurs during breastfeeding, presenting as a or throbbing pain, and is usually preceded by nipple cracking, which is often mastitis. It is important to consider mammary epithelial fibrosis. In advanced stages of breast cancer, breast pain can also occur due to the lesion invading nerves. Some new mothers may not have smooth milk ducts when they start secreting milk, and the sucking ability of newborns is also weak. If a large amount of milk is excreted, it is easy to cause milk to swell and form lumps, which can bring pain to new mothers.
