What should a postpartum woman do if she has lumps and pain in her breasts?

If the mother's breasts are not taken good care of, various symptoms will occur, causing great damage to the health of the body. For example, many mothers will experience symptoms of breast lumps about a week after giving birth, which brings great pain to the mother. Severe lumps lead to breast inflammation and cause symptoms such as high fever. Let's take a look at what to do if a mother has lumps and pain in her breasts?

Method 1: 1. The simplest and most practical method is to pick out the thorns from the cactus, grind it into a paste, and apply it to the affected area (if you add an appropriate amount of Glauber's salt and indigo, the effect will be better, for example, you can add 10g of each into the cactus paste and mix well). 2. Chinese medicine conditioning and Chinese medicine decoction treatment. Chinese medicine has great advantages, and there is no embarrassment of drug resistance in Chinese medicine, so the effect is much better. From my clinical experience, it is much better than oral Western medicine and even better than Western medicine infusion treatment. I suggest that mothers find a Chinese medicine doctor with higher level of skills. 3. Chinese medicine massage treatment, this is the most effective treatment method. The specific method is to relieve breast edema and expel milk. It can be solved by a professional masseur, and most patients can be cured in one treatment.

4. Antibiotic infusion treatment, which is the conventional and least effective method. 5. If the case is more serious, comprehensive treatment can be used simultaneously to achieve better results.

Method 2: 1. In the early stage of milk stasis, wear a bra to improve blood circulation, apply local cold compress for 3 to 5 minutes to reduce milk secretion, and you can continue breastfeeding. 2. When there is a lot of milk, the skin of the entire breast is tight, and it is difficult for the baby to hold the nipple for sucking, you can squeeze out some milk to soften the areola so that the baby can suck most of the areola correctly. 3. Feed your baby on demand and express excess milk in time. 4. For those with ulcerated or cracked nipples, if the pain is severe, you can use a "nipple shield" to breastfeed, or you can use a breast pump to suck out the milk or squeeze it out by hand and then feed it to the baby. At the same time, active treatment should be given, such as mixing cod liver oil and bismuth subcarbonate into an ointment, applying it locally after breast-feeding, and washing it off before breast-feeding.
