How to unclog breast ducts

Mammary duct obstruction is a condition that many women are prone to, especially during the lactation period. This will hinder the baby's breastfeeding health, so of course you should pay attention to understanding some scientific and effective methods of unblocking mammary ducts, such as Chinese medicine massage techniques, or external application of Chinese medicine, as well as some diet, which can achieve the effect of unblocking mammary ducts and milk production.

1. Chinese medicine massage techniques:

Select acupoints for pressing according to different symptoms to dredge the meridians and mammary glands, quickly and safely stimulate the secretion and smooth flow of milk. External application of Chinese medicine: Apply it on the breast 1-2 times to unclog the mammary glands. Combination of oral Chinese medicine + dietary prescription: safe and reasonable combination of reasonable nutritional lactation-promoting soup and Chinese medicine prescription, taking 3-4 doses will have significant therapeutic effects. Treatment combined with traditional Chinese medicine and physiotherapy: scraping and stimulating acupuncture points and corresponding reflex areas to dredge the meridians and achieve the effect of promoting lactation. Usually 1-2 times are enough to achieve the effect.

2. Pay attention to breastfeeding posture

1. Increase the frequency of feeding and milking: direct sucking by the baby is the best, followed by hand milking

2. Change the breastfeeding posture: let the baby's chin face the direction of the lump when breastfeeding. 1. The lump is on the outside of the breast: Rugby position

3. The lump is on the inside of the breast: cradle type

Expressing milk by hand: Try several directions to find the position where you can express milk most easily. When you feel comfortable, you can rest and express milk again when you feel bloating and pain, but do not exceed three to four hours.

4. When you are not expressing milk or breastfeeding, apply washed and dried cabbage leaves to the swollen and painful area. When the leaves become soft, replace them with new leaves. Avoid applying to the nipples and areola. Continue to apply until the breast pain is relieved.

5. Make sure you feel relaxed and happy physically and mentally as much as possible. Ask your family to help with housework so that you can get enough rest and support. Before feeding or milking, you can gently vibrate your breasts to relax them.

6. Lecithin can unclog the mammary glands. Eating lecithin can reduce the viscosity of breast milk by increasing the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids in breast milk.

7. If the fever lasts for more than 24 hours, or does not improve after the above treatment, or the breast skin becomes red, please seek medical treatment immediately.
