Patient's question:
I have been postpartum for half a month now. Since yesterday, I have been feeling some soreness in my breasts, and today it has become even more severe. I dare not even touch them with my hands. Hello doctor, what should I do about breast soreness during the postpartum period?Doctor's answer:
If the swelling and pain are too severe during the postpartum period, it may be mastitis. Generally, during lactation, breast inflammation may cause redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the breast area. It is recommended to have the baby suckle persistently every day, use a breast pump to extract more milk, apply warm compresses, and massage more. Pay attention to relaxing your mood and getting more rest. I hope my explanation can help you. Avoid sexual activity during treatment, and you can take a sit bath with a liquid every night. It is usually recoverable.
