Patient's question:
I am very scared when this happens. I often experience lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Could you please tell me what to eat to make breastfeeding smooth and unblock milk ducts?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the condition you described is mastitis, which is generally caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection. Local application of magnesium sulfate can be used on the breast, while milk should be emptied. If there is an abscess, incision and drainage may be necessary. Generally, lochia needs to be completely expelled within 20 days to be considered normal. If it persists for an extended period, it indicates poor uterine recovery. You can first use traditional Chinese medicine such as Qumei Mixture or Shenghua Pills to help expel lochia.
