What to do if the milk is swollen after induced labor at four months

Generally, after pregnancy, a large amount of estrogen and progesterone will be produced in the body, which will increase the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body. Estrogen stimulates the development of mammary gland ducts. Four months after induced abortion, some milk will be secreted and milk swelling will occur. This is a normal phenomenon. So what should you do if your milk engorgement is severe? How can we relieve the symptoms? Let’s take a detailed look below, it will be helpful to my friends.

After induced labor, just eat normally and rest. If there is no heavy bleeding during the induced labor and no anemia occurs, there is no need to take any supplements. It's not like you're sick, so don't make such a big deal about it. The important thing is to rest, maintain your health, and not have sex too early. Suggestions: It is best to use some milk-reducing medicine to relieve breast engorgement, otherwise there will be no milk secretion for a long time. The drugs can be vitamin B6 or estrogen drugs or Chinese medicine roasted malt and hawthorn boiled tea

After the termination of the second trimester of pregnancy, because the gestational age is longer and the fetus is larger, the body's prolactin begins to be secreted soon after the fetus is delivered, resulting in breast pain and milk outflow, so milk should be withdrawn. In terms of diet, pay attention to drinking less soup, eating less greasy and liquid food.

To stop breastfeeding with drugs, you can use diethylstilbestrol, 4 mg each time (2 mg once, 2 vials in total), twice a day, intramuscular injection, for 3 consecutive days. You can also take diethylstilbestrol orally, but it is easy to cause side effects such as nausea and vomiting.

50g of Chinese medicine malt, soak in water and drink.

When the amount of milk is high, you can use Glauber's salt (salt) externally. The method is to make two gauze pockets of the same size as the breasts, put Glauber's salt into the pockets, spread them evenly, sprinkle a small amount of warm water on them to make them slightly stick to the pockets, and then cover them on the breasts, and wear a bra on the outside. If the milk secretion is high and the pockets are dry and hard, pour the Glauber's salt out of the pockets and replace them with two new pockets. Wash and dry the replaced pockets and set them aside until the milk secretion stops, then stop using them.

Acupuncture therapy can also reduce milk production. The acupuncture points used are Guangming acupoint (5 inches above the lateral ankle, on the front edge of the fat bone) and Zulinqi acupoint (4th, 5 minutes behind the SM joint). Insert the needle 1 inch deep, give moderate stimulation, and leave the needle in for 15 minutes.

If milk stagnation forms lumps, you can use ice packs to cool it down, which can both relieve pain and dissipate hardness.
