Can lactation drugs promote milk production?

Under normal circumstances, lactation-stimulating drugs can stimulate lactation. They do have a certain effect, but it also depends on individual circumstances. When the amount of milk does not meet the needs of the baby, professionals will use scientific massage techniques to stimulate the secretion of milk. The principle of massage to induce lactation is to promote qi and blood circulation, remove blood stasis, relax muscles and tendons, and dredge meridians. Basic techniques such as acupoints, pressing, kneading, and holding are often used, but in actual application, a variety of techniques need to be coordinated. Massage to induce lactation treatment can promote local capillary dilation, increase blood permeability, accelerate blood flow, improve local blood circulation, and facilitate the secretion and excretion of milk. At the same time, through massage, the liver and spleen can be soothed, blood circulation can be promoted, blood stasis can be removed, calm the nerves, help sleep, replenish qi and blood, and meridians can be dredged to adjust the functions of the five internal organs of the body, so as to promote the metabolism of tissues and organs and promote the secretion of milk to meet the needs of the baby.

In addition, massage for lactation is different from our traditional palm rubbing, combing, etc. It can reduce unnecessary pain for pregnant women and prevent inflammation caused by improper use of strength; it is different from massage with equipment in that: due to direct skin contact, it can accurately find the location of the mammary duct, feel the degree of obstruction of the mammary duct, ensure uniform amplitude, appropriate light and heavy, and solve the problem once and for all. In Japan, South Korea and other places, breast massage is a medical care that every pregnant woman must do within 72 hours after giving birth, because it can not only promote pregnant women to accelerate milk secretion, but also use massage techniques to effectively unclog the mammary duct and prevent breast diseases such as mastitis.
