A member asked:

I had a stillborn in oct. my milk dried up 2 months ago. i have warm sensations and pain in left breast. what could this be?

May be..: It can take several months after milk dries up for the breasts to become completely quiescent again. You should be seen and have an exam, just to be on the safe side. I am so sorry for your loss. Good luck with all.

Mastitis?: Might be an infection within the breast tissue. You should be seen by your ob/gyn asap, as pain will worsen rapidly (and infection will get worse too). Warm compresses on breast may help some w/pain & encourage drainage, but get seen.
