How to deal with breast swelling after miscarriage

Miscarriage is no less serious than giving birth to a baby. It also requires confinement and good conditioning. However, some female friends will experience breast engorgement after miscarriage. At this time, the body is already weak, and the breast engorgement will increase the burden on the body. Generally, the breast milk should be cleaned up, the excess milk should be squeezed out, and good care should be taken. Then the normal comfort level will be restored and the breast engorgement will not recur.

How to deal with breast swelling after childbirth

Doctors say that after artificial abortion, the body's hormones will gradually return to their pre-birth state, but will not change immediately. Therefore, there will still be milk secretion for a short period of time. If you find that milk is being secreted, just do a good job of cleaning and care. There is no need to deliberately squeeze it out, because milk is secreted according to the principle of supply and demand. If you continue to squeeze out the milk, the lactation mechanism will think that breast milk is needed at this time and will continue to secrete milk.

Therefore, just do basic simple care after the milk flows out and keep it dry and clean. If you feel uncomfortable due to breast engorgement, you can also use ice to relieve it. In addition, female friends can also refer to the following 4 methods to relieve:

1. Take 60g to 90g of raw malt, decoct it in water and drink it as tea, one dose a day for 3 to 5 days. Continue to drink roasted malt.

2. Eat a balanced diet, drink less soup, and eat less greasy and liquid food. Avoid eating greasy food. You can eat some malted milk.

3. The presence of lumps in the breasts indicates that the milk ducts are blocked. They must be cleared quickly, otherwise you will get mastitis. At this time, you can rub it slowly with your hands or apply a hot towel.

4. Be sure to wear a properly fitted bra. A bra that is too tight or too loose will cause some swelling and pain in the breasts.

For women, artificial abortion only creates the "false appearance" of giving birth. It is normal to have milk engorgement and milk leakage. Therefore, women who have had an artificial abortion should not worry too much. After a period of time, this phenomenon will gradually disappear.

Precautions after miscarriage

1. The breast meridians must be kept unobstructed after miscarriage. During miscarriage, the newly developed mammary glands stop growing, the alveoli become smaller and even disappear, and the mammary glands recover. However, this recovery is usually incomplete, so it is easy to induce lobular hyperplasia of the breast. Causes breast lumps and breast pain. If the meridians are blocked, there will be pain. If you dredge the meridians as soon as possible, the suddenly stagnant Qi and blood will start flowing. You can avoid breast lumps and breast pain caused by improper confinement.

2. The uterus needs careful care after miscarriage. During medical abortion, the mother's cervix and endometrium are inevitably damaged, and the wounds to the cervix cause the uterus's own resistance to decrease. The cervix itself is a susceptible site for HPV infection, and modern science has confirmed that HPV infection is directly related to cervical cancer. During the confinement period, the uterus must be fully protected, including increasing the resistance of the uterus, promoting rapid repair of the uterus, and completely expelling blood stasis.

3. Be more careful about rest and diet after medical abortion. Traditional Chinese medicine points out that the care required for a miscarriage is ten times that of a normal birth, which means that abortion or miscarriage suddenly terminates the normal physiological process of the human body, which causes greater harm than a normal delivery, so you must pay attention to recuperation. Although it doesn’t mean you have to stay in bed for 10 months, you should at least stay in bed for half a month after a miscarriage. In addition, you should follow the taboos after giving birth in your daily life, such as not taking a bath, not drinking cold drinks, and keeping warm clothes to avoid catching a cold.
