A. many times and the most common cause would be due to accumulation of milk clots and sometimes it can be neurogenic pain and sometimes it might be a part any local mass like lymph nodes or tdissue pain. if it is not improving with simple massage as well as simple hot compresses and expression of accumulated milk then meet your doctor at the earliest for local examination. you can take paracetamol for pain.

A. See you can do hot compress regularly which is what is going to be beneficial as of now this enlargement is very common with women when they do not feed their kids for a longer duration so hot compress is going to be beneficial or you can express the breastfeed before you come and that’s what is going to help in lighting up the breast
