Patient's question:

Okay, feedings were only for about 10 months. Medical history and effectiveness of previous treatment: No treatment has been received yet. What kind of help is desired: Hope the doctor can provide guidance.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, nipple discharge is one of the common symptoms of breast diseases. If symptoms appear, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and undergo a nipple discharge smear cytology examination. Based on your condition, it is advisable to actively prevent breast damage during the healing period to avoid the occurrence of secretions. It is also recommended to visit the hospital to choose breast ultrasound for a more accurate diagnosis and medication. Avoid consuming raw, cold, or irritating foods, and drink plenty of water. Avoid spicy foods as well. Some medications can be used to promote lactation suppression. For example, traditional Chinese medicine methods include drinking water infused with malt, which has minimal side effects on the body. Western medicine methods include appropriately supplementing with estrogen, which can inhibit prolactin to some extent, or using drugs like bromocriptine to suppress lactation. Take one tablet of diethylstilbestrol (5 mg) three times a day and one tablet of vitamin B6 three times a day for three consecutive days.
