Patient's question:
The baby is two months old and is in the breastfeeding period. Today, there was suddenly a hard lump in the upper right part of the right breast. It is very painful and hard, but it is not engorged. What is going on? Do I need to go to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Based on the problem you described, your hard lump has a pain sensation, and it is preliminarily considered to be local milk stasis. Currently, you can have a breast MRI to get a better assessment, as this will help in making a more accurate diagnosis. It could also be a previous breast nodule. After a thorough examination, treatment can be administered. Pay attention to feeding to ensure the breasts are emptied promptly to prevent them from being squeezed by the child. The above is advice for this issue, and we hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
