Patient's question:
Newborn baby, suddenly discovered a hard lump in the baby's nipple area yesterday. What should be done if a newborn discovers a hard lump in the nipple area?Doctor's answer:
This situation requires a check-up at the hospital. It may be due to breast hyperplasia caused by a sudden interruption of hormones. An ultrasound of the breast should be done to check for inflammation. Was there any squeezing when the child was born? Generally, squeezing is necessary for this to occur. The main thing is to go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound of the breast. If necessary, a head CT or MRI may be performed. Let's wait and see the results. Don't wait at home to observe, as it's usually not a serious issue.
