Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your situation, it is recommended to prevent discomfort caused by postpartum milk stasis. Rest well and avoid squeezing your breasts. It is also suggested to actively cooperate with massage or heat application to alleviate discomfort. Be mindful to consume less raw, cold, or irritating foods.
If there is liquefaction in the hardened area, you can opt for abscess puncture and irrigation, followed by administering anti-inflammatory medication, which can be very effective. However, it is essential to ensure that your breasts are fully emptied after each feeding to prevent stasis.
