Patient's question:
There are many small lumps in the right breast, about the size of a cherry pit. Sometimes they cause intermittent pain. The nipples also frequently develop white spots the size of rice grains. If pricked with a needle, pus is found inside. If not pricked, breastfeeding is extremely painful and milk does not flow. This was discovered after breastfeeding for two and a half months. The reason is that the baby does not finish the milk.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your information, a preliminary consideration is that due to poor milk discharge from one lobe of the breast, milk accumulates within the breast, forming a cyst known as a galactocyst. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments yields good results. If mild mastitis symptoms appear, you can first apply heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine externally, which may help suppress mastitis in its early stages. However, if the inflamed area is deep or accompanied by fever, Western medicine anti-inflammatory treatment should be combined. It is important to maintain a positive mood, reduce psychological stress, actively cooperate with treatment, and enhance immunity.
