Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: The mother of the infant has milk, but it always leaks out automatically before the feeding time, and it leaks as it happens. Even after feeding, the baby is not full and soon leaks again. She wants to ask if there are any methods or harmless medications that can treat this.Doctor's answer:
Hello, leakage refers to milk spontaneously flowing out without external pressure or stimulation. It can occur 3-4 days after childbirth when milk production first begins. This is due to the milk ducts just becoming unblocked, resulting in irregular milk secretion. Additionally, leakage can also be seen in some mothers with an active let-down reflex. If mothers experience leakage, they should not panic and should build confidence, as most mothers can improve on their own over time. During this period, it is advisable to regularly empty both breasts to prevent leakage and use nursing pads to avoid the inconvenience caused by leakage in daily life.
