Patient's question:
After production, my nipple is a bit tired and inverted, and my baby's mouth is relatively small, making it difficult for them to suck. This led to severe engorgement and intense pain. I would like to consult on how to handle breast engorgement during the menstrual period.Doctor's answer:
During lactation, if engorgement occurs, it is necessary to use a breast pump to empty the breasts as soon as possible. Poor care can easily lead to the risk of mastitis. Therefore, pay close attention to massage and heat application, control your diet, and eat more light foods in these days. It is better to avoid greasy or spicy foods. Also, avoid staying up late or getting overly emotional. After the breasts are emptied, the discomfort and pain can be relieved on their own. Therefore, it is important to actively massage to promote milk production.
