Breast swelling after sex. What can I do?

Question

I am about 10-11 week from BA. After being intimate with my husband I woke up a few hours later and was in so much pain. I took a pain pill which did not help. My right breast really hurts. It is also swollen. When I push from the outside inward is where most of the pain is. No pain on the bottom of my breast. My left is ok minimal discomfort. HELP!

Sexual activity should be fine 10 weeks after your procedure. Having said that, you should probably still avoid direct "trauma" to your breasts when engaging in such activity.  The pain is probably due to some spasm of your muscle or stretching of the nerves as you continue to heal, However you need to be evaluated by your surgeon to make sure nothing more serious has occurred.

Christopher J. Davidson, MD, FACS · Answer

It is certainly possible that you have developed a hematoma on the painful side.  Definitely follow-up with your plastic surgeon ASAP.

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

If you are have new onset pain and swelling that is bothering you, you should be seen by your surgeon for a proper assessment.

Stephen M. Davis, MD, FACS · Answer

I agree with my colleagues, you should not have pain at this point. However that fact that it exists suggests, bleeding, fluid accumulation, implant shift, nerve issues, to name a few. I would check with your Plastic Surgeon as soon as possible. Good Luck.Stephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery

It  could be that your breast is uncomfortable due to manipulation.  However it is possible that you have a hematoma and you should see your surgeon.
