Patient's question:
Doctor,I stopped breastfeeding when my daughter was 8 months old. For the first few days, I expressed a little milk, but after three or four days, I stopped and let my breasts fill up. A few days later, they didn’t get any fuller, but now, twenty days later, I can still squeeze out a little milk, and there are still small lumps in my breasts. Is this normal? How long will it take for them to completely disappear? Thank you!!!
Doctor's answer:
Consider the causes of breast hyperplasia. Due to an imbalance in estrogen secretion. It affects menstruation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. This condition is divided into mild and severe types. Mild cases do not require treatment and can be observed, with attention to diet. Chinese herbal medicine can be used for regulation: Ru'an tablets, Ru pi xiao, Xiao Yao pills, and Ru kang tablets are all available. Pay attention to keeping a relaxed mood.
