Postpartum women often have insufficient milk. There are many reasons behind this. Some women are physically weak and secrete very little milk. In addition, many women secrete milk, but have blocked mammary ducts, so the milk cannot be discharged completely. Regarding the problem of blocked mammary ducts, how to clear the blocked mammary ducts? Mammary duct blockage is a problem that often occurs during breastfeeding, and new mothers need to do a good job of medical care. So, how to clear blocked milk ducts? How to clear blocked breast ducts: hot compress During breastfeeding, if small lumps appear in the breasts and there is pain, it may be because the mammary glands are blocked by sticky milk. Mastitis can also occur when milk becomes stagnant in one part of the breast. If one breast becomes hot, swollen, and painful, and is accompanied by fever, you may have mastitis. It is very important to continue breastfeeding at this time, because this can unclog the mammary glands, and the milk at this time is still safe for the baby. Before breastfeeding, apply a hot, wet towel to the breast and continue to breastfeed the child, especially when breastfeeding with the painful breast, so that the child opens his mouth and holds the nipple (the black part on the nipple). While breastfeeding, slowly massage the lump, and use your fingers to massage from the lump to the nipple, which can help unblock the blocked mammary gland. Vary breastfeeding positions to allow milk to drain from every part of the breast. How to clear blocked breast ducts with diet Drink some dandelion water or honeysuckle water. If the milk knot has not been relieved after a few days of hot compresses and sucking, you can try drinking some dandelion water or honeysuckle water. Honeysuckle water is relatively cold, so mothers with a cold body should drink it with caution. If the breast is already inflamed, you can buy some tongcao and loofah to boil water to drink. Because the taste is relatively strong, if you don't like it, you can take Junaitong, which has a good effect on clearing the breast. I drank this to clear the milk lumps. It can also relieve and treat constipation. How to clear blocked breast ducts: puncture method The accumulated milk is sucked out by puncture. If the mother has tried various methods but still cannot get the milk to flow smoothly, or if she has already caught a cold or fever, it is recommended that she go to the hospital immediately for surgical treatment. Generally, a puncture will be used to suck out the accumulated milk, but surgery during breastfeeding will increase the chance of infection and recurrence. However, if the milk blockage lasts too long without taking certain effective measures, the inflammation will worsen and cause skin ulcers, making it impossible to continue breastfeeding. Therefore, you must carefully identify your own situation and then choose the appropriate treatment method. |
