Patient's question:
After the postpartum period, why does the buttocks get chafed when going to the bathroom? Besides why it itches around the breasts when the milk is engorged, why does the other breast still produce milk when the baby drinks from one side? Apart from a little pain, what is the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
The situation you described needs to be taken into consideration. If you have symptoms of hemorrhoids or anal fissures, it is important to pay attention to maintaining regular bowel habits. After defecation, use salt water for cleaning and sit in a bath. At the same time, apply hemorrhoid cream for treatment.As for the child suckling one breast, the other side may experience symptoms again, which is normal. This indicates that due to stimulation, milk will also be released from the other side. Pay attention to keeping the breasts clean and applying cold compresses frequently to promote milk flow.
