Patient's question:
I just had a baby and am currently breastfeeding. However, I've been experiencing significant discomfort in my breasts recently. Can I continue breastfeeding with breast pain during lactation?Doctor's answer:
It could be milk stasis, where the milk is trapped in the milk ducts and cannot flow out, leading to the recurrence of hard lumps and soreness. You can try to encourage your baby to suck more, and you can also gently massage the area to alleviate the situation. It is best to consult a good lactation specialist to help clear the blockage, which is very effective and will not be painful at all. To prevent long-term stasis from leading to mastitis, it is important to address the issue promptly.Actually, having gynecological issues is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated appropriately, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
