Suggest Treatment For Swollen Breast

Hello, I am an 18 year old female on birth control and currently menstruating. One of my breasts was sore, so I was massaging it, and for some reason, felt compelled to jiggle it very rapidly. It s now quite swollen and larger than the other breast. Could I have injured it?

Hi,
I have gone through your query & understand your concern.
Some birth control pills have side effect of breast soreness. Breast tissue is a delicate tissue made of milk glands, ducts, blood vessels, fat tissue.On handling it further, breast tissue can get irritated/inflammed due to injury.
Please do not massage breast any more. You can foment it with hot pack/ apply ointment Thrombophobe/ take non steroidal anti inflammatory pills ( over the counter ) twice a day after food.
The problem should resolve within 5-7 days. Consult a gynecologist in case it gets more painful/ associated with fever.
Thanks.
This should resolve
