What is the reason for the pricking pain in the nipple and breast during lactation?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, what could be causing a needle-like pain in my nipples and breasts during breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this is nipple cracking. Nipple cracking is one of the common conditions during breastfeeding. It is recommended to clean the nipple and areola with warm water before and after feeding. After breastfeeding, apply fish liver oil bismuth ointment or compound benzoin ointment to the cracked area to promote healing.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
