Experiencing Breast Tenderness and Pain During Nursing?
When it comes to thrush, you may not only notice the symptoms in your baby, but you might also experience them yourself. Even before your baby starts showing visible sores, you might encounter breast tenderness and pain while nursing. The act of your baby latching on may cause a sharp pain or make their sucking motion almost unbearable. These discomforts suggest that your baby has transmitted an excess of Candida albicans to you.
Signs of Changes in Nipple Appearance
Have you recently observed any variations in the appearance of your nipples? It is not unusual to experience changes in nipple appearance, along with breast tenderness and pain. One common change is a darkening of the nipples, making them appear redder than usual. Additionally, you may notice that your nipples appear slightly swollen. If you examine them closely, you might also observe dryness and cracked skin. In some cases, these cracks can lead to bleeding and significant discomfort.
