Patient's question:
Currently breastfeeding, I have had a hard lump in my right breast since giving birth. At first, it was quite large, but after taking traditional Chinese medicine for regulation, it has gradually shrunk. I am still taking the medicine, but once it shrank, it has remained the same size.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, the possible causes of the lump in the right breast mainly include: first, galactoceles caused by milk stasis; second, fibroadenomas and other conditions. For the lump in the right breast, it is recommended to visit the breast surgery department of a hospital for a breast ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis. If it is caused by a galactocel, treatment should include taking traditional Chinese medicine for regulation and paying main attention to emptying the milk. If it is caused by fibroadenomas or other conditions, surgical treatment is recommended after stopping breastfeeding.
