After weaning, do you need to express the milk left in your breasts?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am a young woman, 34 years old. I gave birth to a baby one month ago, and I am currently breastfeeding. However, mainly because my milk supply is not very sufficient, I would like to ask if the milk in my breasts needs to be expressed after weaning.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is not advisable to push or squeeze. If you do so, it will still grow, so don't worry too much and take more care of yourself. Pay attention to hygiene in your daily life, clean frequently, and avoid wearing tight underwear. Do not push or bump into your breasts. Avoid being anxious or angry and try to relax. For this condition, in addition to necessary treatment, patients should also pay attention to self-care in their daily lives to ensure a good routine. This will help you overcome the disease more quickly.
