Patient's question:
Since having my child, I have experienced engorgement. My condition is physiological, but I don't know when it will completely improve, and now I'm experiencing localized pain. How many days does physiological engorgement last?Doctor's answer:
Physiological engorgement generally takes about a week to resolve. However, it is essential to let the baby nurse during this time, as this can help alleviate the physiological condition. The duration of physiological engorgement also varies from person to person, depending on individual circumstances and the frequency of the baby nursing, which can all affect how quickly the engorgement subsides. Therefore, the duration of the physiological condition can differ, with some cases resolving in as little as two days.
