Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it is always very uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How should I deal with engorged breasts during childbirth?Doctor's answer:
In normal vaginal labor, hormonal changes occur in the body, and prolactin is continuously secreted, leading to the beginning of milk production in the breasts. If the infant is not suckled promptly to empty the breasts, breast engorgement and pain may occur. The breasts may develop hard lumps, and milk may not be released. In this case, you can first apply a warm towel to the breasts, gently massage them, and then allow the infant to suckle to express the milk.
