Patient's question:
During breastfeeding, I noticed that the taste of my two breasts is different, one is sweet, and the other is a bit salty. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
You might have mastitis on one side. After adenitis or engorgement, milk can accumulate and become spoiled. When the milk is spoiled, it tastes salty. At the same time, symptoms such as breast swelling and pain, as well as a decrease in milk production, may occur.Typically, the color of such milk is yellow, and it may have a fishy smell. I suggest checking the breast on the side where the milk tastes salty. It is recommended to visit a hospital for an examination to determine if there is a problem.
