Breast pain?

Many people will ask, what should I do if I often feel breast pain? What exactly is causing breast pain? In fact, in addition to physiological reasons, breast pain also has pathological reasons. Many diseases may cause breast pain.

Three reasons for breast pain during lactation:

1. Pain caused by milk stasis

If the interval between breastfeeding is too long, breast lumps will appear, which will be painful when pressed, and white spots may be visible on some nipples.

(ii): Breast inflammation pain

(III): Nipple cracking and pain

(IV): Normal breastfeeding pain

Four first aid measures:

(1) Insist on breastfeeding regularly and allow the baby to fully suck. Empty the milk from one side first, then the other side. Express the remaining milk.

(ii) Cold compress. Do not apply hot compress during the early stages of milk effusion and inflammation, as this may easily spread the inflammation.

(iv) For nipple cracks, apply antibiotic ointment and keep underwear and nipples clean.

(V) Psychological comfort treatment for normal breastfeeding pain.

(VI) Oral antibiotic treatment, strictly follow the doctor's instructions.
