Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for nine months, and I've been experiencing breast engorgement all along. It's a very uncomfortable feeling, and it's really unbearable. The doctor said it's normal, but he didn't give me any solutions. It's truly too uncomfortable. Is there any solution to this?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, a physiological reaction called milk engorgement may occur, which is relatively normal. Around the sixth month of pregnancy, milk engorgement marks the beginning of early pregnancy symptoms, accompanied by feelings of breast swelling and pain. The breasts will continue to grow throughout the entire pregnancy, so it is recommended to choose appropriate bras to prevent sagging.Women who are pregnant usually start to feel a bit bulky around the sixth or seventh month, so it is essential to focus on eating fresh fruits and vegetables and nutritious foods during pregnancy. Avoid crowded places as much as possible to minimize the risk of viral infections.
