I want to ask, these days, when the baby nurses, it hurts me. What should I do?

Patient's question:

I would like to ask, these days, when I breastfeed, it hurts me a lot. I noticed that there is no broken skin, but just now I found that there is a little yellow inside those dots on my nipple. It hurts a bit when pressed. What could be the reason? Is there any way to relieve it?

Doctor's answer:

Dear Consultee,
According to the situation you described, the possibility of blocked milk ducts is relatively high. It is recommended to apply local, appropriate cold compresses, endure the pain, and gently express the milk. Pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of the nipple daily, and consult the breast department for follow-up if necessary.
This is the advice for the question "I want to ask, I've been in pain while breastfeeding these days." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
