Patient's question:
After the child was weaned, I experienced the phenomenon of blocked mammary glands again. At a friend's recommendation, I had moxibustion done. It was said that persisting with it for a period of time could help unblock the mammary glands. However, since I had moxibustion done, I have frequently experienced breast tenderness. Hello, what is the reason for breast tenderness after moxibustion?Doctor's answer:
After moxibustion, there may be a sensation of breast fullness and pain, which could be due to improved local blood circulation leading to breast congestion. If the breasts have inflammation or severe congestion, it is best to avoid moxibustion. If moxibustion is performed, it may indeed exacerbate the pain. It is recommended to promptly visit a local hospital for examination and follow the doctor's guidance to take oral medication or combine it with physical therapy.
