Patient's question:
If a woman experiences persistent milk engorgement after childbirth, along with the formation of hard lumps and a tingling sensation, it is likely that the milk ducts are blocked. I encountered breast engorgement and pain while breastfeeding until I was nine months pregnant. Can my husband help by expressing the milk?Doctor's answer:
If you have been breastfeeding for nine months and are experiencing obvious sharp pain, it could also be caused by blocked milk ducts. If there are noticeable conditions in the breast, you can first consult a massage therapist to have them massage the area, straighten out the milk ducts, and express milk to see if it improves. If it doesn't improve, further treatment should involve anti-inflammatory medication to address the symptoms. At the same time, you can undergo weaning treatment, as after nine months, the child can already be weaned.
