Patient's question:
I am at 14 days post-caesarean section with Zhang Liqun. After being discharged from the hospital for a few days, I noticed my milk supply had decreased and my breasts were not getting engorged. When the baby latches on, a little milk comes out, but otherwise my breasts feel soft. While in the hospital, my breasts would get engorged, and I had to express the milk because the baby couldn't finish it all. I haven't eaten much else, only bone broth and chicken soup. Could you please help me understand this? Thank you?Doctor's answer:
Based on the lactation situation you described, it can also be effective to try methods such as cold compress and massage. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to regulate and enhance milk production. In terms of diet, consuming more high-protein foods can also help boost milk production.For cesarean section patients, daily treatment primarily involves medication. The patient can take various oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, while also paying attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoiding cold foods.
