Patient's question:
Seventh incision of the abdomen, continuously drinking chicken soup and fish soup, but the milk supply cannot keep up, the baby is not eating enough, the breasts are very painful, but there is no time to squeeze out how much milk there is, and I have always had to add formula to make up for it. I would like to ask if there is any way to increase milk production. Can you prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning?Doctor's answer:
Your situation is considered to be a lack of milk, which is common postpartum. This is usually due to a lack of nutrition and self-induced factors. First, it is recommended to maintain a good mood, as emotional changes can directly affect milk secretion. Eat more meaty foods, such as drinking crucian carp soup, eating pork head, and pig trotter soup, etc. Pay attention to drinking more broth and getting more rest. You can eat golden thread fungus. Shrimp can promote milk production. Consume a very small amount of glutinous rice wine. Use 15 grams of Huangqi, 12 grams of stir-fried jiaogu, 10 grams each of Luru, Wangbuluxing, and Tongcao, and stew with pig's milk to take. Medicinal solutions should be resolved under the guidance of a doctor, as traditional Chinese medicine is relatively suitable for this aspect. Patients face the impact of cesarean section, and we should promptly implement the principle of symptomatic treatment. Avoid avoiding medical visits. If the cesarean section does not heal after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
