How long does breastfeeding take to stop the pain?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I am a female patient, 27 years old. I gave birth three days ago, and today my breasts are swollen and painful, very painful. How long should I breastfeed to relieve the pain?

Doctor's answer:

Breast pain during breastfeeding is often related to insufficient milk production or blocked milk ducts. Pay attention to the location of the pain and apply warm compresses. Ensure the baby latches on properly, including the areola, and maintain correct breastfeeding posture. If the pain is severe, you should visit a hospital's surgical department for examination. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid getting it wet. This condition is not actually frightening; believe in your ability to overcome it. As long as it is detected early and treated promptly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
