Patient's question:
During pregnancy, the baby is now 9 months old. At first, the breasts were sore, and over the past two days, there have been hard lumps inside the breasts. The milk cannot be expressed with a breast pump, but it can be squeezed out by hand. What is going on? It's quite painful.Doctor's answer:
According to the information you provided, it is preliminarily judged that it should be milk stasis, which then leads to mastitis. It is recommended that you stop breastfeeding and use a breast pump to express milk, take oral anti-inflammatory medication, and apply local cold compresses to promote the resolution of inflammation, to avoid the formation of an abscess. If an abscess does form, it will require incision and drainage. This is the advice for the question "breastfeeding, the baby is now 9 months old." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
