Why does the nipple hurt in the third day of weaning?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why does my nipple hurt intermittently on the third day of weaning?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, on the third day after weaning, you may experience cramping pain, mainly due to the milk not being expelled promptly, which causes breast engorgement and pain. If necessary, you can consider expressing the milk. Additionally, consuming herbs like roasted malt can help with weaning.
Hello, based on the information you provided, in general, after a D&C or medication-induced abortion, blood HCG levels should return to normal within 3 weeks. If your blood HCG levels remain elevated, you can recheck after another two weeks.
