What happens if a child has a lump in his breast?

Some parents find that their children have breast lumps and worry that their children may have precocious puberty. If a breast lump appears in a child who has not reached the developmental stage, he or she should be taken to a regular hospital for examination to find out the specific cause. If it is during the developmental stage, it is normal to have breast lumps. You can massage them slightly to see if there is a tendency to eliminate them.

1. What causes breast swelling in children?

Many newborns can often see mammary gland enlargement between four and seven days after birth, such as soybeans and broad beans. Some are even as big as the Enteromorpha, and you can even see the areola on the forehead, and they secrete white liquid. These phenomena are all caused by the effects of the mother's estrogen remaining in the child's body through the placenta. Generally speaking, this will not have much impact on the child. This is a special situation for every newborn, but it is also a normal situation for newborns. It just does not happen to every child. Newborns come into this world from their mothers and face the threat of various pathogens. Newborns' specific immunity to many diseases is mainly acquired from their mothers, but their specific immune response is not very active, and some antibodies cannot be passed on to children through the placenta. Therefore, the nonspecific immunity in the newborn's body is immature and imperfect, and its ability to inhibit bacteria and kill bacteria is very low. As long as the child's own development gradually improves, similar situations will not occur again. Do not deliberately squeeze the nipple for the child, as this is not good for the child's development.

2. Is it feasible to squeeze the nipples?

Many rural areas have the habit of squeezing nipples, which is a very bad habit that may have very serious consequences for the child's development, especially if the nipples are not squeezed properly, disinfected, and cleaned properly, it will cause inflammation of the child's nipples and leave terrible sequelae. Infections that often seem insignificant to adults may be a disaster for newborns with relatively low immunity. Therefore, parents need to provide careful and scientific care for their children, especially not squeezing their children's nipples casually, as this may have very serious consequences. As long as the child grows up gradually, he will return to normal. There is no need for deliberate treatment as long as the child does not feel pain or cry. Only scientific and careful care can ensure the healthy development of children, especially the breast development of girls. This issue is related to the child's lifelong happiness. From a broad perspective, if the child's nipples are not squeezed correctly by adults when they are young, it will lead to breast development disorders or delayed breast development in the future, which will have very serious consequences for the child's physical, psychological and other aspects.

3. How to correctly and scientifically treat children's breast swelling?

The problem of children's swollen breasts has been scientifically explained above. Parents do not need to deal with it deliberately. If the breast swelling is caused by illness, it cannot be solved by yourself. You need to go to a regular public hospital for treatment, especially if there are serious problems such as ulcers in the breast area, swelling that does not go away, or even abnormal breast development. It requires scientific and effective treatment by a doctor. Mothers should not squeeze their children's nipples at will. As children grow older, breast swelling that is not caused by disease will generally disappear and get better later. Mothers need to take more careful care of their children.
