ok, about a month ago I had a plugged duct, I worked on it in the shower and about two days later it released! A week or so went by and it plugged up again, another day or two working on it and it released, but after that time my ****** was extremely sore. Like the soreness you get when your first starting out but it never subsided. THere would even be surges of pain when I was not feeding. Everything looked normal at first, no redness or anything, then a week or so after it started to hurt I noticed a white spot on my ******. It looked like some milk build-up underneath there. I had that for about a week and I was feeding my baby and it felt as if she bit me, I yelped in pain and upon closer examination I noticed the spot was gone! I relutantly started to feed again and the toe curling pain was not there. A day or so later it was back, then another day or so and the white spot was back.
OK, I’m running out of characters, I’ll post then add more details.
Thanks
Ok so the spot was back so I started to mess with it and some puss then blood came out…ouch! THat was yesterday so I didn’t nurse her last night. She’s 10 months old and I’m down to just nursing at night. Well, I’m just wondering if anyone has had this happen, is it a ****** infection? Can they go away on their own? There is no white spot this morning and the tenderness has subsided a bit. Any advice? If I go to a doc, what kind of doc do I go to for this?
It sounds like you may have mastitus which is when milk blocks the ducts in your ******. Have you been experiencing cold like symptoms too? I had a blocked duct too and i popped it which made my ****** so sore. I’ve been told that you should just keep on feeding as it clears the ducts but i’m guessing as your baby now has teeth it’s not helping. I’d suggest just going to see your normal doctor. Also try using some lansinoh on your ****** it should soothe it.
