  • Gentle exercise: Gentle exercise and regular movement can help increase circulation and reduce breast engorgement in some cases.
  • Take care of the areola to prevent moisture or cracking. Use a cloth to dry the areola area before putting on a bra, and this should be done during and after pregnancy.
  • Heat. Massaging or applying heat to the breast area for a short period of time with a hot towel or hot water bottle may help relieve inflammation and itching in the area.
  • Clean your breasts without soap, but focus on using plain water, Soaps may contain ingredients that can cause cracked and dry skin.
  • Wear comfortable clothing. Choose supportive clothing that provides soft, non-intrusive breast contact, such as clothing that is beltless or structured with body straps.

In addition to changing bras, increasing the size or size of clothing may also help relieve these symptoms. Because the body, abdomen, and breasts during pregnancy expand, the clothes you used to wear may start to become tight. If the clothes you wear are too tight, they may squeeze your breasts, causing pain and discomfort all the time. Therefore, you should change to wear comfortable and breathable clothing to reduce breast pain and may also help you feel more comfortable.
