Patient's question:
Suddenly had breast pain on the outer side, with a lump the size of a quail egg, and a fever of 38.3 degrees. After massaging the breast to empty the milk, the fever subsided. Today, after nursing, the pain and lump continued, but there was no fever.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, considering the issue of milk extraction in this area, if it is blocked, it may not be able to be extracted at all. If possible, try using a breast pump, and at the same time, apply heat twice a day for half an hour each time. Take anti-inflammatory medication orally. Postpartum mastitis not only affects a woman's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a leukorrhea test to identify the cause and then treat it accordingly. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the perineal skin clean.
