Why does the breast hurt when breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Multiple considerations suggest it may be galactostasis, also known as breast cyst. It occurs during lactation when the milk flow from one gland is obstructed, leading to milk accumulation within the breast. During lactation, if there is a secondary infection, it is important to control the infection and express milk. Subsequently, the lump should be surgically removed and sent for pathological examination. Attention should be paid to preventing infection.
