Why do I have chest pain during the confinement period?

A very important thing for women after giving birth is confinement. They cannot touch anything cold and they also need to take various dietary supplements. Only in this way will they avoid developing diseases. However, many women also find that they experience breast pain during the confinement period. This situation has two main reasons. On the one hand, it may be pain caused by physical fatigue, and on the other hand, it may be due to mastitis. So what exactly is going on?

Breast experts point out that breast pain during confinement is likely caused by mastitis. Symptoms of mastitis include: mastitis is often accompanied by nipple cracks when it first occurs, and nipple pain during breastfeeding. It is usually accompanied by milk stagnation or lumps, and sometimes even one or two milk ducts may be blocked. If there is no effective treatment at this time, local breast swelling and pain will occur, with or without lumps, usually accompanied by tenderness. At this time, the skin is not red or slightly red, and the skin is not hot or slightly hot. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for a relevant examination in time to prevent it from affecting the baby's physical examination, because the virus may be transmitted to the baby through the nipple and affect the baby's physical condition.

How to relieve breast pain? The first thing to do is to change your eating habits. Eat a low-fat, high-fiber diet and consume fiber from whole grains (whole grains), vegetables, and beans. Do not eat salty food. High-salt food can easily cause breast enlargement. This type of food should be avoided especially 7-10 days before menstruation. The diet should contain foods rich in vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, and B vitamins. Secondly, massage your breasts frequently. Gently massaging the breasts can help return excess body fluid to the lymphatic system. When massaging, first apply soapy liquid to the breast, and rotate your fingers along the surface of the breast in a circle about the size of a coin. Then use your hands to press the breasts in and bounce them up, which is extremely helpful in preventing breast discomfort. Apply castor oil to your chest. Place some castor oil on a piece of cotton cloth folded into four layers. Make sure it is fully soaked with castor oil but not too wet to prevent it from dripping everywhere. Apply the cloth to your breasts, cover with a layer of plastic wrap, and then place a hot compress bag on top. Adjust the heat pack to a temperature you can tolerate and leave it on for an hour. Finally women should wear a secure bra. In addition to preventing breast sagging, the more important function of a bra is to prevent further compression of the already compressed breast nerves and eliminate discomfort. Careful sisters will find that those jogging athletes wear stable bras for this health reason.

If you can avoid taking medication, you should do so. Breastfeeding is still necessary during the confinement period. Taking medication will have adverse effects on the child. At the same time, all medicines are toxic, so they are not very beneficial to women.
