What to do if breast pain and lumps occur after induced abortion

Postpartum mothers often experience lumps in their breasts during lactation. In this case, you should consider whether there are symptoms. If you feel obvious itching and pain, and have symptoms of milk secretion obstruction, you must go for a check-up in time. In terms of life, you should pay attention to adjusting your diet and daily life, do the corresponding diet therapy, and dredge the breasts in time to prevent blockage.

Daily life care

If the above situation occurs during breastfeeding, if the infection is not serious and the systemic reaction is mild, the baby can continue to suckle to reduce congestion. If the symptoms are severe and the affected area is festering, breastfeeding on the affected breast should be suspended. In daily life, you should pay attention to the cleanliness of your breasts and nipples, and develop the habit of breastfeeding at regular times and when your breasts are swollen. The milk should be completely sucked out during each breastfeeding. If there is congestion, a breast pump or massage can be used to help drain the milk. The nipples should be cleaned promptly after breastfeeding, and if nipple cracks occur, they need timely treatment.

Daily life care

The diet should be light and nutritious, and appropriate consumption of cool foods can clear internal heat and help dissipate the lump in the affected breast. Avoid eating raw, cold, spicy, greasy, and fried foods to prevent internal heat from stimulating the body and aggravating swelling and pain.

Diet

During lactation, if the breasts are swollen and tender, and there is milk stasis, it is advisable to eat foods that clear away heat, detoxify and reduce swelling to eliminate lumps and relieve pain. Optional foods include bananas, tomatoes, cucumbers, loofahs, water chestnuts, fresh lotus roots and other foods.
