Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation with the requirements followed:Nipples keep getting clogged. Last night the baby slept, I didn't empty the right breast. Today there's a large hard lump. Using a warm towel compress and a pump, I can't express any milk at all. It hurts terribly. What should I do? Urgent!!!!!!
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The main symptoms include breast tenderness and the presence of lumps, with some cases accompanied by fever. Under normal circumstances, these symptoms will naturally subside within one or two days, followed by milk secretion.Advice: You can try applying heat, which can also help with breast milk flow. Unless the baby genuinely refuses to nurse, it is generally best not to use a breast pump, as this may stimulate the body to produce more milk and worsen the pain. It is important to let the baby nurse according to their needs, so the breasts will quickly adjust to producing the right amount of milk.
Treatment methods such as Traditional Chinese Medicine acupressure and psychological care can be used. These approaches not only alleviate pain but also do not require medication, have no side effects, and are highly effective.
