If the milk isn't expressed in time and forms hard lumps, it's especially painful. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Lumps have formed in the breast due to milk not being expressed in time, causing severe pain. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

??????If the pressure is very painful, it is likely caused by a milk knot formed by accumulated milk. First, apply heat, then massage to disperse it, and then quickly let the baby feed. Once the baby has emptied the breast, it should be fine. Breast hyperplasia not only affects a woman's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
