After giving birth, some of the breast milk is a bit yellow, is that okay?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, is it normal for breast milk to be a bit yellow after giving birth?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, insufficient milk production after childbirth may be due to low prolactin levels or blocked milk ducts. In this case, it is recommended to drink more milk-boosting soups, such as pig trotter soup or crucian carp soup. You can also take Tongruo Dan (milk-enhancing pills) appropriately. Frequent breastfeeding by the baby is beneficial for milk production. Based on the symptoms you described, it seems you may have a vaginal infection. I suggest you get a vaginal discharge test done.
