The difference between hyperplasia and milk blockage

Nowadays, our living standards have improved, and it seems that more and more mothers are experiencing milk blockage during breastfeeding. Because milk blockage causes discomfort and unbearable pain for mothers, many breastfeeding mothers try all kinds of medical treatments without knowing the cause of milk blockage. They either abuse various folk remedies or try the experience of experienced people, but the results are increasingly unsatisfactory, and they end up having to go to the hospital for treatment. So what is the difference between hyperplasia and milk blockage?

Fibrocystic breast disease is a proliferative disease in the process of female breast development. It is caused by endocrine disorders due to various reasons, and increased estrogen levels lead to excessive proliferation of breast tissue. This disease is more common in middle-aged women. The main clinical manifestation is breast swelling and pain, which is usually more obvious when the menstrual period comes, and the symptoms will ease or even disappear after menstruation. More serious patients may have scattered breast lumps.

Generally, milk blockage is more common in first-time mothers. After giving birth, the pregnant woman has too much breast milk, which causes blockage of the mammary gland tube. Through hot compresses and massage, the lumps can be rubbed out and then discharged by themselves. The key is to keep it smooth and let the baby suck more. If it is really blocked, you can ask an adult to help suck the milk over. If the glands are blocked, mastitis may occur, leading to fever and other symptoms, and you need to see a doctor.

When milk is blocked, the entire breast will become noticeably hard and swollen. It will be very sensitive to touch and painful to touch. The surface of the breast will feel uneven when touched as if there is a lump, and it will be hot and red. This is caused by blockage of breast tissue. The reasons for milk blockage include the baby not drinking milk on time and the breasts not being fully cleaned, and the mother's bra strap is too tight or the bra is too small, causing the breasts to be encapsulated too tightly. Sometimes suffering from mastitis can also cause milk blockage. Also, when you are depressed, tired, have a fever, cold, headache, body aches, or have a fever, the milk cannot flow and can block the breast tissue and cause milk blockage. If milk blockage occurs, you can apply a hot towel to the breast and massage in one direction. You can also use an automatic breast pump to suck out the milk, promote the secretion of milk and make the mammary ducts smoother.
