What should I do if my breasts shrink after childbirth?

Patient's question:

I started breastfeeding my son right after giving birth. Everyone says that breastfed children don't get sick often. The greatness of maternal love made me forget about the changes in my breasts. After weaning, I discovered that my breasts had shrunk significantly. I wanted to get a plastic surgery, but my husband didn't agree. So, I had to find other solutions.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, clasp the index, middle, and ring fingers of one hand together and place them on the opposite breast. With the nipple as the center, make circular movements from the outer edge of the breast to the inside in a clockwise direction. Repeat this 10 times on each breast. This can promote local blood circulation, increase the nutritional supply to the breasts, and facilitate estrogen secretion. It helps make the breasts look firm, toned, and full.
The occurrence of inverted nipples not only affects the patient's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine gynecological examination at the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
