My wife is 6 months pregnant with a rapidly enlarging and painful lump in her left breast. What should we do?

Patient's question:

Here are 78 days, the left breast quickly grew a lump, the lump inside can't move with pain, want to get help: Please ask how to treat

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it should be mastitis. Initially, there is often nipple cracking, and during breastfeeding, you may feel sharp pain in the nipple, accompanied by milk stasis and a lump. The lump cannot be moved and is accompanied by pain. This is a common condition, and it can be treated with penicillin, which has no effect on the fetus. It can be used for seven days. However, during pregnancy, under the stimulation of high levels of hormones, existing breast diseases may worsen. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination, and if necessary, a biopsy should be performed to clarify the nature of the lump. After determining the nature of the lump, it may be necessary to apply heat or massage. Oral medication is not suitable.
