ExpertSHRUTI KANCHANLactation Educator and Counselor2 years agoA. Some common causes for breastfeeding wound pain. These include:
1. Improper latching: When your baby is not latching properly, it can cause discomfort and pain. A poor latch can cause your baby to chomp down on the nipple instead of properly latching onto the breast tissue.
2. Engorgement: Engorged breasts can put pressure on the nipples, causing pain and discomfort. It typically happens when milk production outpaces milk removal, causing breasts to become very full, tight, and sometimes painful.
3. Mastitis: Mastitis is a breast inflammation that can cause pain, swelling, warmth, and redness in the breast tissue. Mastitis occurs due to blocked milk ducts and is often accompanied by flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills.
4. Thrush: Thrush is a fungal infection that can cause redness, itching, and soreness in the nipple and areola area. It is caused by the overgrowth of the fungus Candida albicans.
5. Nipple blisters: Nipple blisters can form when the skin on the nipple becomes irritated or damaged, usually caused by friction from clothing or a poorly fitting breast pump or a baby's mouth.
6. Tongue tie: In some cases, a tongue-tied baby can make it difficult to breastfeed, often leading to soreness and discomfort for the mom.
These are some common causes of breastfeeding wound pain. You should consult a lactation consultant or a doctor if you experience persistent pain or other unusual symptoms while breastfeeding.

Get a check with your gynaecologist after that only she can help you with some medication to apply and some oral medication and that is what is going to make you feel way better because without a proper check up an understanding we cannot guide you with right medicine
