Lactating mother and pain in breast
Hi doc
I am lactating mother of 1 year old baby. Since a month i am experiencing pain in my left breast along with a hard and big lump which pains even while touching. This is the 4th time in a month that there is lump on the same breast
It feels like engorged breast but it changes positions, sometimes it comes in front part of breast and sometimes on the borders of the breast. The nipple and aerola is also paining.

Drain milk from both the breast and avoid engorgement, lump formed can get infected and lead to abscess
Also if nipple is paining it's due to poor latching of the baby
