Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially severe during my period, and I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility. I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold.Is there any method to deal with severe postpartum milk leakage?
Doctor's answer:
Leaking milk refers to the spontaneous flow of milk without external squeezing or stimulation.First, the mother should build confidence. Although the breasts continue to produce a large amount of milk, she should believe that the leaking milk will naturally stop over time. Secondly, when there is a small amount of leaking milk, two pieces of gauze can be used, filled with a small amount of polyester cotton, to make small nursing pads of approximately 8 cm by 8 cm. These pads can be placed inside the clothing to absorb the milk. However, the small nursing pads should be frequently cleaned and dried in the sun for storage to avoid contamination. If there is a significant amount of leaking milk, a plastic nursing bra can be worn inside the clothing to prevent the wetting of clothes and damage to the nipples.
