How to treat hard lumps and pain in the breast during lactation caused by anger?
I am currently still in the breastfeeding period. Today I had an argument with my husband, and after getting angry, I suddenly felt severe breast pain. Upon touching, I noticed a lump inside. I would like to ask, how should I treat breast lumps and pain during breastfeeding caused by anger?
Doctor's answer (1)
During lactation, if anger leads to hard lumps and pain in the breast, it may be acute mastitis caused by milk accumulation. In such cases, it is important to seek timely medical evaluation, including breast ultrasound, complete blood count, and C-reactive protein tests. If acute mastitis is confirmed, treatment under a doctor's guidance—such as taking lactation-promoting granules—may be necessary to relieve symptoms. It is also recommended to maintain a positive mindset during this period, which can aid in recovery.
