During the postpartum period, you have breast tenderness and pain, and you also feel cold and shiver. What's going on?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Could you please explain why there is breast tenderness, chills, and shivering during the postpartum period?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the condition you described is mastitis, which is generally caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection. Local application of magnesium sulfate can be used on the breast, while milk should be expressed. If there is an abscess, incision and drainage may be necessary. Hello, after a cesarean section, there are wounds on the uterus and abdomen, and recovery requires a longer time. Persistent abdominal pain may indicate that the wound has not healed properly. If it has not been long since the delivery, you can continue to monitor the situation and ensure adequate rest. If there are no abnormalities on the surface of the wound, there is no need to worry too much. Follow up with an ultrasound examination.
