Bitten/bruised breasts

[needs_to_learn]

Sorry if this question has been asked before...I have posted on the "How to" thread but so far not received any responses.

My Dom loves to bite and flog my breasts/nipples, afterwards they are thoroughly swollen and bruised. I enjoy this abuse and find the biting within my pain thresholds but I am concerned about any long-term health risks ....and in the short-term what is the best way to treat my delicate breast to sooth the pain and reduce the bruising/swelling?

I don't know about long-term damage. Probably isn't too much. Mammary glands are pretty amazing at their rebound ability. If you don't plan to ever breast-feed, I would not worry about it in the SLIGHTEST. If you do, serious damage to the mammary glands will cause them to heal by fibrosis instead of just some regeneration, so your "milking capacity" will decrease. But I'm not sure what degree of trauma is required for that in humans. In cows (which I'm much more familiar with), it's usually a result of a nasty nasty bacterial infection. Other than that, I can't think of any real "health risk". The cosmetic risks of repeated trauma are probably still there, but again, I don't know what degree of trauma is required for that.

Short term, rest them (take a break from getting them beaten) and ice (as if for a twisted ankle or something). Ice will make them feel a LOT better, just be sure you don't ice to the point of skin damage!

And, btw, if your Dom won't give your breasts a break, he's an ass. Just sayin'.

Be careful with the deep tissue damage. Damaged breast tissue cells can cause cysts, which can lead to abnormal cell growth. As far as I know surface tissue damage doesn't run the same risk.

Thanks,

Thankfully my breastfeeding days are behind me. I'm not sure how to assess depth of trauma though. The swelling and pain usually settles within a day or two, but the bruising is taking about a week before its even started to yellow.

I am very new to this lifestyle which has gradually built up over the last 2-3 years. My Dom is very experienced and has been happy to take things at my pace - in fact he's enjoyed the grooming/training process a lot. He's not great at the physical post care stuff but has been very supportive of my psychological/emotional well-being which in many ways I have had more difficulty dealing with.

Do you know anything about seeking health advice in the UK?


Thanks again, NLT x

There are theories that long term breast trauma may (and I stress *may*) increase risks of breast cancer - due to the increased risk of cysts/fibroids associated with prolonged deep tissue damage.

Personally, I choose to avoid activities that significantly decrease blood supply/cause deep tissue bruising of the breast, and limit myself to things like nipple clamps/pinchy things [10-15 minutes on; 5 minutes off].

For general bruising and swelling you can use homeopathic arnica tablets (oral) or gel (topical) to speed healing; green cabbage leaves applied to the breast should be effective in reducing swelling/relieving soreness and pressure from swollen glands.

Arnica should help with the bruises.

I've watched some pretty extreme porn, things like breast suspensions and breast skewering, and wondered about that.

It's troubling, because there's no doubt in my mind that people watch that stuff, and then do it. It's way too easy to watch a 10 minute clip, and convince oneself that there was no harm done.

One risk of breast injury that is often unknown to the public is fat necrosis. You can read about it in this link, explained for non-healthcare professionals:

Note that fat necrosis has nothing to do with breast cancer!

I'd suggest you but an OTC antibiotic on any cuts, no telling where that cane has been, and stick to loose sports bras for a while so you don't make the tissues more sore. Other than that, ice in the first 24 hours, mild heat until it goes away.

*wince* there's some controversy around OTC antibiotic cremes. For one, one of the main antibiotics used in them (I believe the culprit is bacitracin) has a pretty high rate of allergic reaction, which of course will exacerbate a problem. For another, they haven't been shown to be any more effective than just covering a wound with sterile petroleum jelly. Not saying not to do it, as the antibiotics in the creme will keep the creme relatively sterile (except for all the resistant bacteria in the world, of course, which are increasing due to the use of things like OTC cremes), so you'll have that protective effect...but that's really all that's happening. And if it gets worse, check the ingredients and try a creme with no antibiotics or with different ones.

Hmmmmm, valid point. I suppose if the cane is cleaned before use, you can skip the antibiotic cream. Maybe just wash really well and use hydrogen peroxide.

If you can't autoclave it, it's not clean (sterile).

This. My mother's been having issues with a surgical wound that Just. Won't. Heal. She went to a wound care specialist, and he told her not to use Neosporin and the like.

I don't know how I feel about peroxide to clean wounds, either. It irritates the surrounding tissue, for one thing.

clean=/=sterile.

Sterile: free of micro-organisms (including healthy cells)

Disinfected: destruction or inhibition of pathogenic organisms (usually on a surface)

clean=free of debris and judged to be of low microbial load

Additionally, there are MANY ways to sterilize materials besides autoclaving. You can use Ethylene oxide, plasma, and ionizing radiation to an equal or improved degree. Autoclaving is just the cheapest/most practical method of doing so that doesn't compromise sterility the most.

Hmmmmm, valid point. I suppose if the cane is cleaned before use, you can skip the antibiotic cream. Maybe just wash really well and use hydrogen peroxide.

I'd use the peroxide on the CANE before I used it on wounds. peroxide is better than nothing, but it destroys healthy (healing) tissue as well as microbes. The best bet would be to use something like rubbing alcohol on the cane before it's used (I bet that'd just feel LOVELY too ). For washing up afterwards, your best bet will be an iodine solution or, even better, a chlorhexidine solution (I believe the trade name you find in stores his Hibiclens). none of those work great in the present of debris, so make sure you give things a good clean up first


I just LOVE starting surgery and having all this ground into my head. It just helps me not-annoy people SO much....

Oh alright. Lets all bow before you and your superior knowledge of disinfectants then.

:/ sorry. I wasn't trying to be a know-it-all or anything. I've just been and am being taught a lot about it and I like to share knowledge. I'm sorry if I offended you. Peroxide isn't a WRONG disinfectant to use, but I wouldn't use it if I had other solutions that were less harmful to healthy tissue available. That's all I was trying to say. Sorry

Its okay. Partially my fault too.
And you know, I really think a discussion of wound care was beside the point. NTL said her breasts were bruised and swollen, not that the skin was broken. If anything, we should be discussing ways to reduce the soreness and swelling.

lol good point

My money is still on icing them, like you would any non-infectious swelling elsewhere.

That's probably wise.

If you hadn't done it, I would have. Ah, it's fun when the non-kinky sides show. ^_^

Anyway, if the skin's not broken, the rule of thumb for treatment is R.I.C.E. = REST, ICE, COMPRESS, ELEVATE. Take it easy... don't do more aggressive painful breast-play, use ice packs, and at least with boobs it shouldn't be hard to keep them elevated, hah, not like an ankle injury or something. It works quite well.

Let's just all echo the same thing here: don't repeatedly beat them up without giving it time to heal and use ice. Ice! Ice! Lots of ice!

And please don't use peroxide on wounds. Though giving the cane a good disinfect is probably not a half-bad idea, things that might cause skin damage might as well be clean. ^_^
