Blocked milk ducts are a condition in which the milk duct system is blocked, preventing milk from flowing out. This condition often occurs in mothers in the first few days after giving birth and during breastfeeding.

Blocked milk ducts can occur at any time after giving birth. However, it is most common in the first week. About 15% of breastfeeding women experience breast engorgement, tenderness, and sometimes fever or a hard lump in the milk duct.

Blocked milk ducts and breast abscesses are two very common phenomena in postpartum women and women during breastfeeding. If not treated promptly, blocked milk ducts will lead to breast abscesses, even the formation of fibrous mammary glands and infections.

Blocked milk ducts are a phenomenon in which the milk ducts are blocked, the milk cannot flow out, and stagnates in the breasts, causing discomfort, tension, and even pain. Many women also have a fever. Blocked milk ducts make women worry about how to handle them. Should they breastfeed if they have blocked milk ducts?
