Post-weaning mammary nodules

The reason for weaning is that as the baby grows, his body becomes larger and larger. At this time, the nutrients in breast milk can no longer fully meet the baby's body's nutritional needs, so other foods need to be added. Weaning mainly refers to breaking the baby's habit of drinking milk. During the period just after weaning, the mother's breasts will also show a series of uncomfortable symptoms. So how to eliminate breast nodules that appear after weaning?

Judging from the characteristics of the lumps, breast adenosis often causes multiple nodules of varying sizes and unclear boundaries to be found simultaneously or successively in both breasts, which can be pushed. Breast fibroadenomas are mostly solitary, with clear boundaries, neat edges, smooth surfaces, and are movable.

3. Breast cysts are enlarged lobules formed when breast tissue ages. The lumps are smooth and movable. Intraductal papilloma is often felt as a round, soft mass under the areola or at the edge of the areola, with a diameter generally ranging from 0.3 to 1 cm, and most cases are accompanied by nipple discharge. Mammary duct ectasia, also known as plasma cell mastitis, often presents as the first symptom a lump with irregular edges and an uneven surface. It is often located deep in the areola and is usually less than 3 cm in size.

4. Breast tuberculosis usually appears as isolated nodules at the beginning, gradually forming one or several lumps with unclear boundaries and easy adhesion to the skin. Only a small number of breast lumps are cancerous. Breast cancer lumps are mostly single nodules with irregular edges. Most are hard in texture and often adhere to the skin.
