Hi friend,
With the question "What is the sign of the disease when the nipple is swollen like pus, burst causing pain after treatment of blocked milk ducts? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You are breastfeeding and 1 month ago had blocked milk ducts and was treated. Thus, milk drainage may be somewhat impaired. If the nipple appears pus-like, bursts and hurts the whole breast, burning pain inside even though there is no engorgement, it may be mastitis. Use a clean towel and clean water to clean the nipples and nipples before and after each feeding or before and after each milking.
If your breast pain does not go away with redness, swelling, or fever, you must see an obstetrician immediately for diagnosis and treatment.
If you still have questions about nipple swelling such as pus, rupture causing pain after treatment of blocked milk ducts, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
