Question
Persistent breast pain during breastfeeding, nipple cracks with pressure sensation, how to handle it? I also feel pain when using a breast pump. Why is this? Is it because the mastitis has not been completely eliminated?
Answer
Based on the description, the situation involves “persistent breast pain during breastfeeding, nipple cracks with pressure sensation, and pain when using a breast pump.” This may be due to nipple cracking and acute nipple inflammation caused by the baby biting the nipple during suckling. It is recommended to visit the hospital’s breast surgery department for relevant examinations and diagnoses. It is suggested to pay attention to local hygiene and cleanliness, frequently apply cold compresses with warm water to the red and swollen nipples, and perform appropriate massage.
