What are the methods to remove residual milk?

The so-called residual milk is the residual milk remaining in women's breasts. For example, women who are breastfeeding will still have excess milk in their breasts once they stop breastfeeding. If these are not eliminated in time, it will be harmful to women's breast health. Therefore, after stopping breastfeeding, female friends must learn to eliminate the residual milk. The following will teach you how to eliminate the residual milk.

First, what is residual milk discharge?

First of all, let us clarify what residual milk is. The so-called residual milk is the milk remaining in the breasts of women after breastfeeding. These milks accumulate in the nipple or nipple hole, making the nipple hole blocked, and are usually paste-like, such as white, yellow, or black. The discharge of residual milk means expelling these residual milk from the body.

Second, what are the functions of expelling residual milk?

1: Unclog the mammary glands. Drain residual milk in the mammary ducts and prevent breast diseases.

2: Improve breast lumps and breast hyperplasia symptoms caused by milk residue. Activate breast cells, fat cells and fibroblasts to give breasts a new vitality.

3: Beautify the breasts. Once the cells are nourished, the breasts' ability to absorb fat will be enhanced, making them fuller and more beautiful!

Third, who needs to drain residual milk?

1. Mothers who stop breastfeeding after giving birth

2. Women with postpartum breast pain

3. Women with blocked nipples

4. Women with breast lumps and breast hyperplasia

Fourth, the best time to discharge residual milk

Generally speaking, 2-4 weeks after weaning is the best time to drain residual milk.

However, within 10 years after delivery, as long as you feel discomfort in your breasts or there is residual fluid, you can discharge the residual fluid. The longer the residual fluid remains, the uglier the color and the worse the smell will be.

Breast care must not be neglected. Many women think it doesn’t matter, but when it becomes serious, it is too late to regret! Mothers who have not yet discharged their residual milk should take action now!

Fifth, why do we need to discharge residual milk?

Atrophy of breast tissue after breastfeeding. After the baby is weaned, the milk remaining in the breast is not discharged in time, although the human body can absorb 80% of it by itself. The remaining 20% ​​will still remain in our mammary ducts. The normal temperature of our human body is 36.5 degrees. Residual milk will ferment and deteriorate if it stays in the breast for a long time, and will gradually affect the health of our breasts. Many cases of breast hyperplasia are caused in this way.

When the ducts are blocked, the breasts are in an unhealthy state and the breast tissue loses vitality. The various hormones secreted by the human body cannot enter the mammary cells of the breast well. If the alveoli are not activated, they cannot absorb fully, which will lead to lack of vitality of breast cells and affect breast health.
