How to relieve breast pain after childbirth

After giving birth, some pregnant women's breasts will become a little hard. This may be because the pregnant woman's body has become diseased. At this time, pregnant women need to pay special attention to their breasts. More serious cases may be mastitis. At this time, pregnant women need to see a doctor for treatment. It may also be that there is milk blockage, because the moisturizing lotion cannot be discharged and lumps are formed. At this time, it can be treated by breastfeeding or massage. It may be that the growth hormone of the pregnant woman's body has changed, and pregnant women need to pay attention to it in daily life.

Why are my breasts hard after giving birth?

If you are currently breastfeeding and have hard breasts, it may be related to mastitis. It is recommended to let the baby suck more. If the condition is very serious, you need to see a doctor immediately. During the treatment period, you must pay attention to the hygiene and cleaning of the area around the breasts, massage the breasts frequently, and promote the secretion of milk.

There was no abnormality in the breasts before delivery. One or two days after delivery, the pregnant woman felt a lump in the breast. Sometimes it was just a small lump, and sometimes the whole breast swelled severely. In more serious cases, the breast would continue to feel swollen or painful. And breastfeeding is also affected. Breast milk cannot come out, and even if you squeeze it by hand, only a small amount can come out. If the above situation occurs, it means there is a problem of milk stasis, also known as milk blockage.

The problem of milk blockage often occurs because the mammary ducts are not unobstructed within a short period of time after giving birth. Breast milk accumulates inside and forms lumps or rashes, which greatly affect milk secretion. If the milk is not transfused and treated in time, the pregnant woman may experience milk withdrawal and lose the opportunity to breastfeed exclusively. In addition, long-term accumulation can cause mastitis. If treatment is delayed, it can lead to suppurative infection and must be treated surgically.
