Does breast pain or discomfort occur after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

I had a miscarriage over a month ago, and my body feels very weak. I often have headaches, and my breasts are also swollen and sore. What should I do about breast tenderness and pain after a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

In the short term after a miscarriage, it is common to experience breast discomfort, but it is likely to subside on its own within about 2 weeks. It is recommended to actively apply cold compresses or check if there is any breast discharge. However, after a few days, it is important to promptly visit a hospital for a follow-up ultrasound examination. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume more foods that boost qi and regulate the menstrual cycle. There may be some spotting in the first week, so it is important to pay close attention and observe carefully. The above information can serve as a reference.
