Postpartum milk duct obstruction is a fairly common phenomenon in first-time mothers, who do not have much experience. Although this condition is not life-threatening, if not treated promptly, it can lead to a very dangerous breast abscess.

1. Causes of blocked milk ducts after giving birth

Breast milk is made in the milk follicles, then follows the ducts to the milk-filled sinuses at the back of the areola. Under the stimulating effect of the baby's sucking motion, breast milk will flow out. When for some reason the inside of the duct is narrowed (due to compression from the outside or blocked inside the tube), breast milk will not be able to escape. At the occlusion position will gradually form lumps due to the phenomenon of milk coagulation.
At this time, breast milk is still being produced, causing the ducts in front of the blockage to become more and more stretched and compress the other milk ducts, this phenomenon creates a pathological spiral, causing blockage of the ducts. Postpartum milk is heavier.

2. Signs of blocked milk ducts after giving birth

The first sign of blocked milk ducts after giving birth is that the mother's breasts are larger than normal, increasing gradually, there is a feeling of pain and no milk or little secretion. out. Blocked milk ducts cause fever and pain that increases if there is a lot of milk stagnation inside the breast. Early opening of the ducts will help reduce the condition and limit the consequences of long-term blockage.

3. Mother has blocked milk duct what to do?

Day of manual breast compression: use 1 hand to press the breast against the chest wall or use both hands to press together, both pressing and rubbing to melt the areas where the milk has frozen. Mothers should pay attention to perform the "squeeze" movement, not "rub", because only strong "squeeze" force will work for the blockages located deep in the breast and melt the frozen milk. conclude. You should press gently in the pain you can tolerate, rub your chest slowly in a circle, gradually increasing the intensity, about 20 - 30 times, then do the opposite, repeat as above many times. Hot compress: after pressing but still feeling tight chest, mother can apply heat. Under the effect of heat from hot water (not too hot to easily lead to burns), frozen breast milk will gradually melt and open the flow, creating conditions for new milk to flow. Combined with supportive massage movements, the situation of blocked milk ducts after giving birth will gradually improve. Using a breast pump: a breast pump uses negative pressure to pump milk, so it is usually only suitable for use in the early stages of engorgement, when the milk is newly curdled, and only suitable for clogged areas near the nipples. . With deep occlusion or occlusion in the milk follicle, it is very difficult to be effective, because if you turn on small pressure, it will not be able to melt the frozen milk, and if you turn on high pressure, it will cause more serious damage to blood vessels. , milk ducts are dilated, especially when blocked milk ducts are accompanied by infectious factors. In the late stages, when the clumps have formed large lumps or patches, the use of a breast pump is almost useless. Treatment of blocked milk ducts after giving birth is not simple, depending on the case and the degree of blocked milk, the mother has improved results or not. However, when the situation is not positive after applying the above methods, mothers should look to the method of spinal manipulation to treat blocked milk ducts after giving birth without using drugs.
