What to do if breast hyperplasia occurs during breastfeeding

We all know that pregnancy and breastfeeding are two particularly important periods for women. You cannot take some medicines blindly during these two periods, especially during breastfeeding. Taking medicines during breastfeeding may be absorbed by the baby along with breast milk, which may cause certain side effects to the baby. Many women do not take good care of their breasts during breastfeeding, which is particularly prone to symptoms such as breast hyperplasia. If not relieved in time, the disease may become more and more serious. Let's learn about what to do if you have breast hyperplasia during breastfeeding.

There are three general treatment methods:

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Surgery

Methods to prevent breast hyperplasia during lactation

Maintain a good mood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi stagnation can easily affect blood circulation around the breasts, making it more likely to get breast inflammation. Therefore, to prevent hyperplasia during lactation, we must first adjust our mentality and try to maintain a good mood every day.

Correct feeding method

You should develop good breastfeeding habits on a daily basis, pay special attention not to let your baby sleep with the nipple in his mouth, pay attention to helping your baby clean his oral hygiene, and pay special attention to avoid your baby biting your nipple during feeding. If your baby accidentally bites your nipple, it is best to stop feeding for two days, or use a breast pump to express the milk and put it in a bottle, and then breastfeed.

Eat more whole grains

You can eat more healthy foods such as beans, vegetables, whole grains, etc. on a daily basis, and pay special attention to consuming more foods rich in selenium.

Do not wear tight underwear, wear loose cotton nursing underwear, and try not to squeeze the breasts. In terms of diet, you should also pay attention to eating more light foods and pay attention to balanced nutrition.
