If your breasts are swollen and painful, you should encourage your baby to suck on the nipple more often, and at the same time promote milk discharge by combining hot compresses on the breasts and negative-pressure suction with a breast pump.
At the end of labor, more milk secretion. At this time, due to the mother’s lack of experience in breastfeeding or high milk secretion and the baby’s limited suction, it may lead to milk retention in the breasts, which ultimately leads to the symptoms of breast swelling and pain. This is a common situation and requires early medical treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
On the one hand, mothers should be encouraged to breastfeed their babies more often, through the baby’s continuous sucking on the nipple, which is conducive to the smooth discharge of milk. During this process, the mother should try to insist on it and not worry about the baby biting the nipple.
On the other hand, after breastfeeding, carry out breast warming and conditioning. Improve the blood circulation of the breasts and improve the tension of the milk ducts. At the same time, after the end of the hot compresses, use breast pumps, use negative pressure to attract the way to empty the milk, improve the symptoms of breast swelling and pain.
In addition, it is also necessary to exclude the blockage of milk caused by mastitis, for patients with redness, swelling and heat pain, they should consult a doctor in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor for treatment, such as the use of penicillin and other antibiotics to fight infection, and incision and drainage if necessary.
