Chest pain during confinement

Confinement is the most important activity for women within one month after giving birth. Everything should be given priority to during the confinement period, because confinement is extremely important for women's physical recovery. In order to prevent various postpartum-related diseases, women should promptly understand and deal with various abnormal conditions of the body during the confinement period. For example, what causes chest pain during the confinement period? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

reason:

1. It may be caused by external damage. The body of a woman in confinement is generally weak and easily affected by external pollution, which may cause nipple inflammation. If you want to control the symptoms of unlimited pain, you can supplement nutrition appropriately, avoid external damage, and also avoid contact with bacteria. I believe that such symptoms will be alleviated soon.

2. Mastitis may also cause breast pain, often causing nipple fissures, and sometimes obvious nipple tingling, accompanied by milk stagnation or lumps, and one or two milk ducts may be blocked. If not treated promptly, it can easily spread. In addition, symptoms of local breast edema may occur, with or without lumps. There will be obvious pain when slight pressure is applied, and the skin color will be flat or slightly red. When faced with such symptoms, you must go to the hospital for a timely check-up, preferably once a month, to avoid the breasts producing large amounts of harmful substances that may be detrimental to the baby's health.

What should you do if you have breast pain during the confinement period?

1. Pay attention to whether the nipple is bitten by the baby. If the nipple is damaged by the baby's sucking, continuing breastfeeding is likely to cause mastitis. It is recommended to stop breastfeeding on that side and wait until it heals. It is related to incorrect breastfeeding method.

2. Symptoms caused by milk stasis or mastitis can be treated symptomatically with magnesium sulfate hot compress. If necessary, further anti-inflammatory drugs need to be taken to relieve the symptoms of infection.

3. Use a breast pump to suck out the milk, and then apply a hot towel; if there is still pain, use a wooden comb to clear the pain from the outside to the inside, centering on the nipple.
