Patient's question:
Does breast pain and diarrhea during pregnancy affect the baby? My friend has never had a stomach problem before. Last night, she was in pain until dawn, with a dull ache, not particularly severe. Then she went to the bathroom and felt better, but she had watery stools. Does stomach pain during breastfeeding affect the baby's nutrition?Doctor's answer:
Most breast pain during lactation is caused by catching a cold while nursing, and it generally does not affect the child. When a woman experiences severe pain, she can take Yuanhu Zhizhong tablets orally for symptomatic relief, and drinking ginger tea can also help promote blood circulation. During lactation, women should pay attention to preventing colds and avoid overeating foods that are too spicy and to the stomach. Meals should not be overfull, and it is best to avoid frequent small meals to reduce pressure on the stomach.
