What to do if your breast ducts spasm

For mothers who have just given birth, breasts are very important because they need to feed their babies with breast milk, and children who grow up with breast milk are healthier. What should I do if my milk ducts spasm while feeding my baby? Here is a method for breastfeeding mothers: before breastfeeding, gently squeeze the areola to induce the milk ejection reflex and then let the baby feed. Each breastfeeding time should not exceed 20 minutes (on both sides). Mothers who suffer from cramps while breastfeeding can try this! See below for details

The nipple on one side of the milk duct of the diseased nipple will turn white, as if it was sucked white. It is due to spasm, and the insufficient blood supply makes it turn white naturally. Therefore, after it is completely cured, the nipple will return to its original color and will not turn white again no matter how much you suck it.

Difference from nipple injury:

When the nipples are damaged or injured, there are usually visible external damage. It hurts when you are breastfeeding, but the pain goes away quickly when you are not breastfeeding. Personally, I feel that the pain of a bite is only one-third of the pain of a milk duct spasm.

In cases of milk duct spasm, the pain is relieved when the baby is breastfeeding, but when the baby is not breastfeeding, the skin on the nipple feels like burning pain. The pain usually subsides within a few hours.

Differences from Candida infection:

Candida can also cause whitening and pain in the nipples, but Candida is a little itchy and painful, and Candida infection usually causes bilateral whitening, while milk duct spasm is generally unilateral.

The treatment is relatively simple. VB6 is available in pharmacies, the kind that costs 1-2 yuan per bottle, 200 mg a day, generally one tablet is 10 mg, which means 20 tablets. Take it for 2 days after the pain goes away. Some people stop taking the medicine too early and the pain will recur. In this case, just continue taking it for a few more days. Taking 200mg of vb6 a day will not cause milk withdrawal, so take it with confidence. It took 15 days to fully recover.

What to do if you have milk duct spasm? I believe everyone already knows the solution. Insist on doing chest expansion exercises such as push-ups and physical exercises such as swimming to make the chest muscles develop and become stronger, thus enhancing the support for the breasts. Thereby delaying breast atrophy and preventing breast sagging. After feeding, massage for 10 minutes and wash your breasts with clean water twice a day to keep them clean.
