Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a young woman, 28 years old this year, and my milk has been getting less and less every day. I would like to ask if green beans can help reduce or increase milk production.Doctor's answer:
Green beans are galactagogues, and they contain rich dietary fiber, which can be consumed in moderation during breastfeeding. They help prevent constipation and also have a calcium supplement effect, with excellent anti-aging benefits. However, green beans must be cooked before eating. Avoid combining them with milk-suppressing foods like Sichuan peppercorns and MSG, except for leeks. Eating raw green beans may lead to poisoning. For this condition, in addition to necessary treatment, patients should also pay attention to self-care in daily life, ensuring a healthy routine, so they can recover quickly.
