The effect of infrared on breast milk

Patient's question:

Milk secretion is not smooth, breast lumps may or may not be present, skin is slightly red, general discomfort, poor appetite, chest tightness and irritability. I heard this is a breast disease. Can I have a breast infrared examination during breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

Breastfeeding women can undergo infrared breast examination. Whether it's an infrared breast examination, an X-ray breast examination, or an ultrasound breast examination, it will not affect the baby's breastfeeding, so there's no need to worry. Choose the examination that suits your situation. Postpartum weakness and decreased immunity, tight wrapping, insufficient cleaning, local moisture and sweating of the breasts, and external injuries such as compression, impact, and forceful breast stimulation can also provide a breeding ground for bacteria. Breast injuries during breastfeeding, such as compression, impact, and forceful breast stimulation, can easily trigger mastitis, which requires timely treatment.
