After I gave birth, I had milk knots during lactation. My breast can feel a lot of hard knots. After rubbing with a lactagogue, the condition of the hard knots will be better, but there are still some hard knots that are stubborn. As long as there is milk, the hard knots will start. However, the baby will basically disappear after eating or sucking the breast pump. Now I have mastitis again. When I go to the hospital to take a film, I say it is still milk knots.
Is it better to continue massaging breasts? Do you still need what examination in breast?
Answer
First of all, the so-called milk accumulation is used to be called milk deposition in medicine. Milk deposition is very normal during lactation.
Incorrect nipple connection or wrong feeding habits may cause milk deposition. It can be completely prevented and treated by sucking and feeding more babies. The image result seen by any breast-feeding woman during color Doppler ultrasound will be [milk knot].
Secondly, milk deposition does not need to be rubbed by the lactagogue. If there is mastitis, the lactagogue’s unprofessional rubbing method will only make the inflammation spread and aggravate the disease. The most effective lactagogue is the baby himself.
Finally, as far as breasts are concerned, as long as routine breast examination is no problem, there is no need to worry too much.
