How to relieve breast engorgement 4 months after miscarriage

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How can I relieve breast engorgement after an abortion for 4 months?

Doctor's answer:

Maltose and estrogen. However, these are all supplementary. When you start weaning, the milk will still increase regardless, and it will be very painful. At this point, you must make sure to express the milk. Don't listen to any old wives' tales that say letting it hurt will make it go back on its own, because doing so can easily lead to inflammation. Use a breast pump to express the milk, but no matter how much you pump, it won't be as effective as a child feeding. Over time, the milk supply will gradually decrease. With the help of medication, it usually takes about one to two weeks to wean.
