Could this pain be related? Do I need to go see my doctor?

Question

I am 7 dsys post op. Implant and capsule removal. My husband and I decided to have sex, nothing too active. Minutes later, my breasts began aching pretty bad.

hello sally19227  Regeneration of the sensory nerves is accompanied by tingling, burning, or shooting pains which disappear with time and are nothing to be alarmed about. If, however, swelling, redness, infection, or drainage accompanies this, then you will need to see the doctor at the office. #pain #capsule

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

You are still healing from your surgery and the activity level may have been too much too early.  If the pain doesn't subside with rest or if you experience swelling or worsening of symptoms, contact your surgeon for an evaluation.

See your surgeon for an evaluation to rule out any damage to your breast.  Your activity level may have been too much too soon.
