Breast nodules are a common breast disease in women, which may occur before and after menstruation, as well as during pregnancy. It is mainly caused by the elevated levels of estrogen and progesterone in women's bodies, which is generally a normal situation. So, what about breast nodules during pregnancy?
If the breast nodules are not severe and the pregnant woman has no other abnormal symptoms, they generally do not require treatment. After delivery, they will naturally relieve because breast nodules are caused by elevated hormones. With the decrease of hormones after delivery, the problem of breast nodules can also be solved. Pay attention to maintaining hygiene and clean your breasts with warm water every day.
If the condition of breast nodules is severe, and pregnant women experience nipple retraction and nipple discharge, it should be taken seriously. Malignant lesions may occur, and it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for corresponding B-ultrasound and CT examinations, and receive targeted treatment based on the results of the examination. If there is a possibility of malignant transformation, timely surgical treatment is necessary.
Pregnant women with breast nodules should pay attention to rest, relax and not have too much psychological pressure. At the same time, they should pay attention not to eat foods with high estrogen content, such as soybean milk, dried tofu and tofu, which will affect the hormone level of pregnant women. In addition, if breast nodules occur, medication should not be taken without authorization to avoid affecting fetal health, and prompt medical attention is necessary.
