What to do if you have breast pain after weaning

1. Of course, weaning

Gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding, shorten the breastfeeding time, and pay attention to feeding less milk and milk-producing foods, so that the secretion of milk gradually decreases or even disappears.

2. Manual weaning

That is, using various milk-suppressing drugs to reduce milk secretion. Estrogen drugs can be taken orally or injected intramuscularly, such as oral administration of ethinyl estradiol, 5 mg each time, 3 times a day, for 3 to 5 days; or intramuscular injection of estradiol benzoate, 2 mg each time, twice a day, for 3 to 5 days. Oral or external application of Chinese herbal medicines to suppress milk secretion can also have good practical effects, such as 120g of roasted malt, decocted in water, and taken warm in 3 times; or eat 1 bowl of soy milk, add a small amount of sugar; or first suck out the milk, use 50 to 60g of saltpeter, put it in a tea bag, apply it to the breasts, and replace it in time after deliquescing, 3 to 4 times a day.

3. Whole body treatment

Recipe for weaning: 60 grams of raw malt, 12 grams of cicada molt, decocted in water; 15 grams of raw loquat leaves (depilated), 60 grams of raw malt, decocted in water; 60 grams of raw malt, 30 grams of hawthorn fruit, 30 grams of electronic music king, decocted in water and drunk as tea, one dose per day.

Weaning: Boil one or two ounces of malt* in a bowl of soup and drink it once, twice a day. It will only take one day until the milk is gone.

4. Partial treatment

Recipe for weaning: Take 300 grams of saltpeter, put it into a cloth bag, and after the milk is drained, apply it to the breast and tie it tightly; or take 6 grams of edible alkali, dissolve it in 1500 grams of boiling water, wait until it is warm, use this water to rub the breast for 3 minutes, then use a clean cotton towel soaked in edible alkali water to apply cold and damp compress to the breast for 15 minutes, once a day at night, and use it for 3 days. Milk supply will decrease significantly and breast pain will subside.
