What should I do if I have postpartum galactorrhea?

Patient's question:

Doctor, what should I do about post-abortion milk leakage? Besides experiencing milk engorgement after giving birth, sometimes it can be very painful. Do you have any good suggestions to alleviate the pain of milk engorgement? What should I pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

After a miscarriage, if the symptom of milk leakage reappears, it is important to carefully observe for any recurrence of hormonal abnormalities. If there is a rise in prolactin excretion again, oral prolactin-receptor antagonists should be taken for treatment. At the same time, local hygiene must be paid attention to to prevent bacterial infection. Additionally, a breast ultrasound should be performed to check for any lumps. If a lump is present, a pathological examination should be conducted for diagnosis.
