What Should I Do About a Small Hard Lump on the Inner Side of My Right Breast During Lactation That Doesnt Hurt When Touched?
A small hard lump inside the right breast during lactation may be related to milk accumulation, breast hyperplasia, folliculitis, and other causes. It can be treated through methods such as hot compresses, oral medication, and topical medication.
1. Milk Accumulation: If there is excessive milk secretion during lactation or if the milk ducts are blocked, milk accumulation may occur, resulting in lumps in the breast area. A warm towel can be used for hot compresses to alleviate symptoms.
2. Breast Hyperplasia: It is usually related to a disturbance in the ratio of estrogen and progesterone in the body. Patients may experience local nodules, lumps, and other symptoms. Due to excessive substantive hyperplasia of the breast, some patients with mild symptoms may not feel pain. If there are no discomforting symptoms, special treatment is generally not required. If there are discomforting symptoms, medications such as Xiaoyao Pill, Ruyingxiao Capsule, and Xiaojin Pill can be taken under a doctor's guidance.
3. Folliculitis: It is usually related to bacterial and viral infections. Due to local inflammation of the hair follicles, patients may experience local induration and swelling. Medications such as Mupirocin Ointment, Fusidic Acid Ointment, and Erythromycin Ointment can be used for treatment.
It may also be related to mastitis, breast nodules, breast fibromas, and other causes. In daily life, attention should be paid to personal hygiene and maintaining a good mindset, which is conducive to health.
