Pregnant women are advised to seek medical attention promptly if they notice a lump in the breast. Doctors will evaluate the nature of the lump through physical examination and imaging tests such as breast ultrasound. If the lump is determined to be benign, conservative treatments such as dietary adjustments, massage, and warm compresses may be recommended to help relieve discomfort and promote breast duct通畅 (patency). If the nature of the lump is unclear or there is a possibility of malignancy, a biopsy may be recommended to determine whether further treatment is needed. Pregnant women can also take the following measures to prevent and alleviate breast lumps: maintain healthy lifestyle habits and avoid excessive fatigue and stress; wear properly fitted bras to prevent breast compression; keep the breasts clean to avoid infection; and consume more foods rich in vitamins and protein, such as legumes and fish.
