Patient's question:
Hello doctor! I would like to ask if there are any dietary therapies for mild galactorrhea? Are there any foods to avoid?Doctor's answer:
Some mothers experience severe milk leakage during breastfeeding, leading to galactorrhea. Excessive milk leakage can result in insufficient milk intake for the newborn, excessive energy consumption in the mother, and prolonged nipple dryness, which may cause nipple cracks, mastitis, and other issues. If this occurs, the mother should use a breast pump to regularly express milk from the breasts while seeking medical treatment to prevent adverse effects on the health of both the mother and the child.
