Is it good to use hot towels on breasts during breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding mothers need to feed their children every day. Since the breasts are often exposed to the environment, there are many bacteria and fungi in the environment. If you apply a hot towel to the breasts, it can not only reduce some bacterial and fungal infections, but also promote blood circulation around the breasts and make the breasts secrete more milk. However, it should not be too hot to avoid skin burns. And be sure to choose a clean towel and apply it to the breasts intermittently. Let’s take a look at the specific methods below.

Using a hot towel to apply heat to the breast is very helpful. Use a clean towel, soak it in hot water with magnesium sulfate, and try to apply hot compress for half an hour each time, twice a day. No matter how serious the breast disease develops, it has anti-inflammatory and swelling effects.

Breast tenderness is related to liver qi stagnation; vulvar itching and excessive leucorrhea are related to damp heat in the liver meridian. It is recommended to eat less spicy and greasy food, less seafood, onions, ginger, garlic, coriander and other irritating foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat a light and nutritious diet, drink plenty of water, ensure adequate sleep, and do appropriate physical exercise.

After diagnosis, symptomatic treatment will be given if it is caused by breast hyperplasia. Chinese medicine is given for symptomatic treatment in the early stage.

Caused by breast hyperplasia, the symptoms of breast hyperplasia are mainly characterized by periodic breast pain. At first, it is a wandering distension and tenderness, and the tenderness is obvious on the outer upper side and the middle and upper part of the breast. The pain intensifies before menstruation every month, and the pain decreases or disappears after menstruation. In severe cases, there is continuous pain before and after menstruation. Sometimes the pain radiates to the armpits, shoulders, back, upper limbs, etc. Patients often report that there are lumps in the breast, but only thickened mammary glands are touched during clinical examination. Since breast hyperplasia is mainly caused by hormonal imbalance, treatment should start with endocrine regulation. Traditional Chinese medicine has its unique features, especially for those with Chongren disorder, constipation, and combined breast hyperplasia. It is recommended that you can take the Chinese medicine Xiaojindan or Xiaoyaosan or 5% potassium iodide orally to relieve symptoms. There are also Rukuaixiao, Rupixiao, Tiandongsu tablets, Pingxiao tablets, Nangpiling, Tamoxifen, etc. can be treated
