What are the causes of milk blockage and fever?

1. Too much milk

Mothers with more breast milk will have more breast milk after feeding their babies, which will accumulate in the breasts. This often causes swelling and pain. The skin temperature of some parts is higher and it hurts when pressed lightly. Gradually, hard lumps with unclear boundaries will appear.

2. The mother’s qi and blood are weak and the source of energy is insufficient

Milk is produced from the mother's blood and Qi. If a pregnant woman has weak Qi and blood, and she loses blood and consumes Qi during childbirth, or if she has weak spleen and stomach, and lacks blood and Qi, how can she produce milk? Then she will have less milk after giving birth, or the milk will be unstable and cannot be discharged immediately.

3. Liver imbalance in pregnant women leads to poor milk stasis

If a pregnant woman suffers from depression, or endocrine imbalance after giving birth, emotional instability, liver qi stagnation, poor blood circulation, blocked meridians and milk channels, the flow of milk will be blocked, resulting in the inability to produce milk and the milk being less and less and deposited.

There are many reasons why mothers produce toxic milk. In addition to the reasons mentioned above, mothers should also pay attention to whether there are breast diseases or improper diet, such as eating too much milk-producing food or cold food, etc. If the mother has milk fever, she can use a manual breast pump to extract the milk, which can relieve the pain of swelling.
