Swollen Breast

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody at all could possibly offer some advice or shed some light on my breast issue.

I have exclusively BF my DD, now 22 weeks, until 4 weeks ago, when she started rejecting the breast.

Since then I have gradually reduced the amount of feeds I have given her so that now she takes nothing from me. However; my left breast has grown bigger and bigger. It is now about 3 cup sizes bigger than my right breast and you can see the difference through a sweater.

I have been to my GP, she doesn't think that it is mastitis as it is not painful or red. She thought that it may have something to do with my Mirena coil and gave me water tablets.(They haven't worked at all).

Up until I went to my GP (last Monday), I had been expressing milk from the breast to see if that reduced the size, but she advised me to completely stop removing milk from either breast.

Also, I think I need to mention that I had breast implants 5 years ago.

What do you think?????

Hi, I think you need a specialist - ask your visitor to put you in touch with your nearest breastfeeding counsellor. Good luck x
