What should I do if there's a small bump under the nipple during breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

Doctor. I have a small bump just below my nipple during breastfeeding. Two days ago, the baby didn't feel any pain when eating, but in the past two days, it hurts when eating. I want to ask what might be the reason? Thank you, Doctor!

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it is possible that the condition may be caused by breast hyperplasia or milk stasis.
Advice: It is recommended to apply cold compresses and perform massage before breastfeeding to empty the milk. Pay attention to local hygiene and maintain a cheerful mood. It may also be breast inflammation. Use povidone-iodine for sterilization. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Clean frequently, twice a day.
