What should I do if there is a lump in the milk that is blocked?

If there is a lump and pain in the milk duct due to milk blockage, you can take oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or you can let your baby suck milk and find a masseur to clear the breast duct. You should choose the appropriate treatment method according to the cause of the milk duct blockage.

1. Oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs: If there is a lump in the milk duct and pain occurs, it is likely caused by breast inflammation. You need to go to a medical institution as soon as possible, undergo a breast ultrasound examination, follow the doctor's instructions, and take oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs for treatment.

2. Let the baby suck milk: The baby's milk intake is relatively small, and the milk secretion is relatively vigorous, which may also cause milk blockage, resulting in obvious lumps when the breasts are pressed with hands, and accompanied by pain. In general, you can let the baby suck out the milk in the breasts in time, or use new ones instead to suck out the milk in the breasts, which can relieve the pain and hardness symptoms.

3. Find a masseur to help with breast duct unblocking: When breast duct abnormalities occur or mammary glands become blocked, you can go to a large medical institution to find a masseur to help with breast duct unblocking, which can achieve a better effect in improving milk blockage and can be used to promote milk secretion.

If you have milk blockage and lumps that cause pain, you should avoid blindly taking supplements and drinking too much concentrated milk-inducing soup, which will cause a significant increase in milk secretion and aggravate breast pain.
