Patient's question:
It has been 35 days, and the milk supply is still low. Using a breast pump only extracts 30 milliliters. Additionally, one breast produces more milk while the other produces less. Drinking some milk-boosting soup hasn't increased the milk supply either. How can this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Insufficient milk production, also known as galactorrhea, is a common phenomenon after childbirth. The composition and excretion of milk are influenced by many factors, such as nutritional supply, breast growth and development, how the baby suckles the nipple on time, the excretion of prolactin, and the adjustment of prolactin by neurohumoral factors, as well as mental factors and health status. It is recommended that you:1. General treatment. Pay attention to rest, maintain a regular lifestyle, ensure sufficient deep sleep and a happy mood, avoid overexertion, and actively treat various chronic diseases.
2. Enhance nutrition. The amount of milk produced is directly related to the nutrition of the postpartum woman. A high-protein, high-calorie, high-vitamin diet should be provided after childbirth.
