What to do if the milk blockage cannot be removed by kneading

After giving birth, during breastfeeding, mothers may experience breast pain, hardness, and inability to rub their breasts. This is milk blockage, which causes great confusion for mothers. I feel a lump when I touch it with my hand, and there is a lump in the breast, but it is blocked by squeezing and the baby's sucking is also blocked. What should I do if there is a lump in the milk during breastfeeding and I can't knead it? Discuss whether the following approaches work.

The milk is discharged through more than a dozen thin mammary tubes and gathers at the nipple. The baby drinks milk by squeezing the nipple and tasting breast milk. When a large amount of milk accumulates at a certain fork of the mammary tube and cannot be discharged completely for a long time, part of the mammary duct will be pushed hard by the milk, and the surrounding tissues will also cause edema due to pressure. These two factors constitute a "lump". Mothers need to understand that lumps are not just milk, but usually also tissue edema.

When milk is accumulated, the local pressure is too great, and the swelling squeezes the mammary duct, making it more difficult for milk to be discharged. If you press and knead the lump area with all your strength immediately, it is equivalent to exerting external force on the already swollen tissue. Not only will the milk not be discharged, but more importantly, it will cause damage to the breast tissue, lymph node tissue, skin, etc. due to external forces. Many cases of mastitis and even suppurative mastitis are caused by improper full-scale massage! Mothers need to understand that full-scale massage is not conducive to the discharge of milk, but will increase new injuries!

Experts say that if there is milk blockage and the lump is accompanied by pain, it is first important to see a doctor immediately. In addition, you can first drink some Chinese herbal medicine to reduce swelling and knots, such as dandelion flower, which is a recognized breast treatment medicine and is very effective in reducing swelling. Why not drink some first to prevent it.

The prerequisite for the milk in the deposited area to be discharged is that the mammary duct at the front entrance and exit, that is, the nipple, must be unobstructed. Only when the milk at the front door is fully discharged can the milk in the distal accumulation area flow forward slowly and finally be discharged. Applying anti-edema medication to the hardened area can help the milk to drain out faster. Mothers need to understand: it is more reasonable to do so.

Self-milk discharge requires experience. If you really don't care and your milk is blocked for a long time, the most effective way is to let a child suck it, or use loofah burnt ashes to treat it. Naturally, you will be able to discharge milk better. There are several situations for milk blockage, which is caused by long-term accumulation and cannot be pushed away by yourself. It is easier to suck out a large area of ​​milk blockage, so don't delay for a long time.

What should I do if there are hard lumps in my milk during breastfeeding and I can’t knead them? Why don't you try the above method. The above method is only a mild auxiliary method. If you feel that there is no actual effect or the pain and fever are getting worse, it is better to see a doctor for transfusion. The mother will suffer a lot because of this, but it is all she deserves to see her child grow up healthily.
