During lactation, lumps in the breast may be caused by a variety of reasons, such as milk stasis, breast fibroadenoma, etc.

1. Milk stasis

If a lactating woman does not completely empty milk in time, milk may accumulate in the mammary duct, causing lumps to form in the breast.

2. Breast fibroadenoma

What is the lump in lactation breast?

Some fiber cells are abnormally sensitive to estrogen and may overgrow, causing breast fibroadenoma. This is also one of the common causes of lumps in the breast during lactation.

For lactating women, it is important to empty milk in time and keep the breast unobstructed. If lumps are found in the breast, in addition to trying breastfeeding and using a breast pump, consult a professional doctor to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.
