Breast cramps mainly refer to breast pain. Breast pain during breastfeeding may be related to milk distention, mastitis, trauma and other conditions, and patients are advised to consult a doctor to diagnose the specific cause before taking medication or surgical treatment.
1. Swelling of milk: mainly due to the high secretion of maternal milk, resulting in the retention of milk inside the breast. The breasts may feel swollen and painful. The symptoms can be improved by emptying the retained milk through massage or negative pressure suction with a breast pump.
2. Mastitis: Acute lactational mastitis can occur when milk is trapped and bacteria or viruses attack the breasts for various reasons. It is necessary to diagnose the condition as soon as possible and take penicillin, cefozoxime and other sensitive antibiotic drugs to fight infection. If a breast abscess is formed, surgery is needed to incise the abscess and remove the pus to ensure the successful recovery of the infected lesion.
3. Trauma: When the breast is impacted and other traumatic injuries, breast cramps may occur due to pain, which can be relieved by hot compresses and gentle rubbing, and if necessary, timely medical attention.
Breast cramps during breastfeeding can also be caused by other factors such as breast cancer, etc. It is recommended that mothers go to the hospital for formal consultation to identify the cause and treatment.
