Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it okay to use a hot water bag on the nipple?Doctor's answer:
Using a warm compress can indeed accelerate blood circulation in the breasts, promote mammary gland development, and be very beneficial for future breastfeeding. However, it is important to note that the temperature should not be too high to avoid burning the local skin, as the body is less sensitive to temperature than the hands, so there is a possibility of mild burns without feeling very hot. The correct method is to cover one breast with a warm towel and then use your fingers to massage in circles around the nipple, which will better promote blood circulation.
