Hi Sir, I have intense pain in my left breast. I feed my 3.5 months old baby. What should I do. Please answer. I cant go to gyno as I have a baby. No one there to take care of him.

Question

Hello lybrate-user, This is normal for breastfeeding mothers to have soreness in breasts. This may occur due to the abundance of milk or deposition of milk in the ductules. Switch to soft and not too tight undergarments. You may try gently massaging the breast and provide it with slight warmth with the help of a warm heating pad. This should help you get rid of the soreness. If the problem still persists for long, you may consult a nearby physician for remedial help. Take care, stay well.

Dear Ms. lybrate-user, Thanks for your enquiry. This pain could be due to any infection of the breast issue. So, kindly go to a Gynaecologist or a Surgeon immediately.
