Patient's question:
The baby is just 10 days old. Due to inverted nipples, the baby cannot latch on, so I have been using a breast pump. I use it about 3-4 times a day now. I feel a lot of pain in my breasts and there are hard lumps inside. What should I do? Is it because I used the breast pump too much?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, based on the above situation, it should be considered as caused by milk stasis, which is generally related to not fully emptying the milk regularly.Suggestions: It is recommended that you regularly ensure the milk is fully emptied. If there are hard lumps, you can apply a warm towel several times and then use a breast pump to extract the milk, or use a comb to clear them. Generally, the symptoms will subside within 2-3 days. Maintain a positive mindset and wish you good health.
