Patient's question:
I just had a cesarean section surgery not long ago, and lumps have appeared in my breasts again. What should I do about breast engorgement, pain, and hard lumps after a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
After cesarean section surgery, breast tenderness and hard lumps are likely caused by milk stasis. If your body is not feverish and there is no redness, swelling, heat, or pain in the breasts, it is recommended to encourage the baby to breastfeed more. The breast can improve without milk stasis.Additionally, after the baby finishes feeding, use a breast pump to empty any milk remaining in the breast to prevent milk stasis and stimulate milk production. At the same time, you should also apply warm compresses or perform massage and acupuncture on the breast area.
