Hi,

You seem to have pain due to engorged milk glands as you have stopped feeding your baby recently. Please consult your gynecologist. You need to take few special pills to stop lactation and thus avoid accumulation of milk in breast to cause you pain.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
