Why are my breasts still swollen three days after having an abortion procedure, and what should I do?

The term "chest" usually refers to the breasts. Breast fullness three days after an induced abortion may be caused by hormonal changes, mastitis, or mammary gland hyperplasia, and can be improved through general care or medication. The specific causes are analyzed as follows:

1. Hormonal Changes

After an abortion, hormone levels in the body undergo significant changes. During pregnancy, hormone levels rise to prepare the mammary glands for lactation. Following the procedure, these hormone levels drop, which may lead to breast swelling and aching. Adequate rest is recommended, and applying warm compresses to the affected area can help relieve symptoms.

2. Mastitis

Mastitis is a common gynecological condition caused by milk accumulation, leading to bacterial growth. Inflammatory secretions can irritate local nerves, resulting in symptoms such as swelling, pain, and redness. Patients may take medications such as Cefradine Capsules or Erythromycin Lactobionate for Injection under medical supervision.

3. Mammary Gland Hyperplasia

Mammary gland hyperplasia refers to structural disorders of the breast tissue due to abnormalities in the normal processes of development and regression. Small hyperplastic nodules may form, causing pain and swelling. Under a doctor's guidance, patients may use medications such as Xiao Jin Pills or Ru Pi San Jie Capsules.

Besides the above reasons, breast fullness could also result from myocarditis, fibroadenoma of the breast, or breast tumors. If breast pain is accompanied by other symptoms, prompt medical consultation and examination are advised for proper diagnosis and treatment.
