What to do if you have lumps in your breasts during pregnancy

Some pregnant women are not very familiar with some symptoms during pregnancy. As the pregnancy progresses, their breasts will also enlarge. The breast is an important organ of the human body.

If you have a lump in your breast, you cannot delay it. First of all, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up and let the breast doctor check it through B-ultrasound. Because pregnant women have a special physical constitution, the doctor will also prescribe some therapeutic drugs suitable for nursing during pregnancy based on the pregnant woman's own condition. Secondly, pregnant women can use a hot cotton towel for hot compresses, gently massage the breasts, and also relieve lumps. There is also massage, which can promote breast blood circulation and also have a very good effect.

During pregnancy, pregnant women should pay attention to breast cleaning at any time and anywhere. Cleaning the breasts can not only maintain the patency of the mammary ducts, but also help to improve the elasticity of the nipples, and has a very good health care effect. Pregnant women should also prevent the formation of breast lumps, avoid wearing tight underwear, and maintain a stable mood. They do not need to suppress their feelings all the time, and they should not get angry all the time, as diseases are caused by anger. Also, don't press your breasts when you sleep at night, which will also affect breast health.

If you have a lump in your breast, you should not delay and must go to a reliable hospital for treatment. Pregnant women should also pay attention to their diet in their daily life. If there are lumps in the breast, they should not eat spicy food to avoid aggravating the condition and hindering physical recovery.

Breast care during pregnancy

1. Clean the breasts properly

Many expectant mothers feel that there seem to be a lot of stains accumulated on their breasts, especially around the nipples, and they really want to clean them. Chen Yanqin explained that due to the changes in hormones during pregnancy, the nipple area expands, pigmentation increases, and some small protrusions appear around the nipple, making the breasts look "dirty". But it's a normal change during pregnancy and not a buildup of stains. Expectant mothers do not need to clean it intentionally, they can just clean it while taking a bath. It is not recommended to use soap or other lotions to clean it. In addition, when cleaning, do not wash your breasts with your hands vigorously, otherwise it will cause frequent uterine contractions.

2. Choose the right bra

As for bras, normally they are not worn during pregnancy. It’s just that women have been wearing them since puberty, and they will feel very uncomfortable if they suddenly stop wearing them during pregnancy. If you wear it, it is recommended that expectant mothers choose a looser and more comfortable bra. Cotton bras are more comfortable than synthetic fiber bras and have better breathability. Also, pay attention to the specifications of the bra. It is best for expectant mothers to go to a baby products store or a large shopping mall to buy it, try it out for themselves, and ask experienced salespersons to help choose.

In short, expectant mothers should pay attention to breast health. The incidence of breast diseases during pregnancy is likely to increase, but due to the increase in breast volume, breast lumps are not easy to be detected in the early stages. Once a lump is found, it is very important to seek medical attention in time and make an established diagnosis. Do not delay treatment, which will affect the health of expectant mothers.
