In my hometown, they call it being blocked. Can medicine be used to treat it? What kind of help do you need: How to deal with a blocked breast milk duct?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it could be mastitis, which may be caused by milk stasis leading to inflammation of the milk ducts. It is recommended to start treatment, which can be done through massage therapy or intravenous fluid therapy. Try to empty the milk from your breasts as much as possible, and always keep the nipples clean. You can use a breast pump to empty the milk. Mastitis is a common condition among postpartum women, and if it occurs, it is important to seek treatment promptly to avoid delaying the condition. If treated in a timely manner, it will never cause adverse effects.
