Patient's question:
However, she got pregnant again. The day before yesterday, after an abortion at the hospital, her breasts became very engorged the next day. After expressing the milk, by the third day, she had no milk left. Now the baby has no milk to drink, and she doesn't drink formula either. She is extremely anxious!Previous treatment and outcomes: None
Kind of help needed: Hello, how can she recover her milk supply?
Doctor's answer:
When pregnant, prolactin secretion slightly decreases to prepare for breastfeeding. After giving birth, prolactin is secreted in large amounts, followed by milk production. If pregnancy is suddenly terminated, prolactin secretion stops immediately, and your milk will also disappear. It's okay, don't worry. Children who suddenly wean often experience this, and it usually improves within 3 days. There needs to be a process for the child to adjust to eating differently.There are many methods for treating diseases, but since patients' conditions vary, the treatment approaches differ. Therefore, patients need to seek professional help for detailed testing as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment.
