Why do I have pimples under my armpits after childbirth?

Postpartum care is very important for some women after childbirth. Once a problem occurs, it will affect health, so timely treatment is needed to ensure the health of the body and avoid affecting the safety of the patient. In particular, problems must be treated in time to avoid affecting the safety of the patient. So why are there lumps of flesh under the armpits after childbirth? Well, let me introduce it to you below.

Don't be afraid of this phenomenon. In fact, this lump is a kind of mammary gland, but it is not normal breast tissue, but congenitally underdeveloped breast tissue, called accessory breast. Since there is no milk secretion normally, there is no feeling. After childbirth, the mammary glands become active and milk is secreted in large quantities, which sometimes accumulates into hard lumps and causes a feeling of swelling and pain. This attracts attention and leads to the discovery of lumps under the armpits. When the swelling and pain are uncomfortable, you can take painkillers or apply saltpeter topically for 24 hours and the pain will subside.

If you are breastfeeding now, you are not a pregnant woman. This lump has nothing to do with breastfeeding. It is recommended that you go to the hospital to check whether it is benign: However, pregnant women are prone to this. I also had it when I was pregnant. As long as it does not grow rapidly, it will slowly disappear after delivery. I also asked the doctor at that time, and the doctor said that this is caused by the progesterone in pregnancy stimulating the breasts and accessory breasts to become fuller.

This may be related to lymphadenitis, which is usually caused by some infection of nearby tissues. The lymph node itself is an immune organ. When the nearby tissues are inflamed, the lymph node can play its immune function and kill the bacteria. However, it is difficult to avoid the lymph node from being infected in the process. The lymph node infection causes inflammation, which will cause swelling and pain. The key to the treatment of this disease is to identify the lesions and the types of infected bacteria, and actively carry out anti-infection treatment to cure it.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If a postpartum woman has the above problems, she needs to undergo timely examination to ensure the health of her body. Generally, this problem is a normal phenomenon, but if she is not breastfeeding, she needs timely treatment. Finally, I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
