What if mastitis recurs?

Many lactating mothers have mastitis, so what if mastitis always recurs? What are the causes of recurrent mastitis?

When it comes to mastitis, many mothers look pale. * * * The lump is red and swollen, even fever and suppuration, which makes mothers miserable.

About 50% of the mothers I contacted suffered from recurrent mastitis. What do you mean? That is to say, many mothers have had mastitis more than once during the whole lactation period. What's more, they will block milk once a month during the whole lactation period, which makes people miserable.

Why is this happening? Can repeated mastitis be contained? We will talk about it in detail in this article today.

Causes of recurrent mastitis

1, oppression * * *

Many mothers called in the morning: "Teacher, I * * * squeezed into a big lump again, which is terrible. What can I do? "

Some mothers are used to lying on their side, and if they are pressed during lactation, it is very easy to cause milk deposition. Moreover, the milk deposition caused by this external force is easy to form large lumps, and it is not easy to recover from serious damage to the mammary duct, and it is more difficult for the baby to suck it out. Only by dredging with hands can the problem be solved.

Therefore, we suggest that lactating mothers sleep on their backs as much as possible, and be careful of the impact of external forces such as kicking or hitting their babies.

2. Eating habits

After giving birth to a baby, family members eat too much fat in order to supplement nutrition, promote lactation and increase milk, resulting in too much fat in milk, while fat particles are relatively large and have poor fluidity, which are easy to deposit on the wall of the mammary duct and block the mammary duct, resulting in poor milk production and even repeated milk blockage. * * * Small white dots persist and appear repeatedly.

It is suggested that mothers who need nutritional supplements should also skim the oil slick when drinking soup. They can eat some chicken and fish, which are more nutritious than soup. You can try vegetables, such as loofah, day lily, water bamboo, peas, lotus root and so on. , relatively light, good lactation effect.

3, * * burst or improper chest holding.

Some mothers have repeated mastitis because * * * always has a breach, and bacteria invade from the broken * * *, leading to bacterial mastitis.

In this case, mastitis is not easy to occur when * * * recovers, so our main task is to solve the problem of * * * rupture.

We have repeatedly emphasized the posture of holding the chest. Correct breast holding can not only promote lactation, but also prevent maternal pain and rupture. Especially in the newborn stage, be sure to let the baby hold most of the areola with his mouth open. The baby's tongue is wrapped in * * * instead of sticking to * * *. Mothers should pay attention to observation, and correct the baby's chest if it is not correct.

One more thing, if the baby likes to sleep with milk, the bacteria in the child's mouth are also easy to invade. If the lactating mother's body resistance is poor at this time, bacterial mastitis is prone to occur.

4. Emotional factors

After giving birth to the baby, I feel inexplicably in a bad mood, impatient with everything and not pleasing to the eye. In fact, I have a little liver depression and qi stagnation, or what we call mild postpartum depression in psychology. This situation, from the point of view of Chinese medicine, is that the liver meridian is blocked and the qi and blood are not running smoothly. Some mothers will have less milk, and some mothers will repeatedly block milk.

Some mothers are very angry and always anxious because of this and that, which can also lead to frequent milk blockage or mastitis.

Solution of recurrent mastitis

Above, we talked about some solutions, such as improving diet and correcting chest posture. The following focuses on the solution of repeated breast blockage and mastitis caused by liver depression and qi stagnation or strong heart fire.

Recurrent mastitis due to stagnation of liver-qi

1, Meridians * * *: dredge the liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach meridians, and press each meridian 3 times and press on both sides.

2. Acupoints * * *: * * Taichong, Shoulder Well, Trekking, Hanzhong, pricking Shaoze to bleed.

3, diet conditioning: mothers with liver stagnation can eat more lotus root, white radish, rose tea and other foods. It has the effects of soothing the liver and regulating qi, clearing away heart fire and relieving depression.

Repeated mastitis caused by vigorous heart fire

1, Meridian * * *: Dredge pericardial meridian and heart meridian.

2, back scraping: from Dazhui to scapula, nail suture, bilateral bladder meridian, Du meridian, focusing on scraping.

3, diet conditioning: mothers with strong heart can try to eat more lotus seed porridge, mung bean soup, bitter gourd, bitter chrysanthemum and other foods that reduce fire and moisten dryness.

Sometimes the baby's every move will affect our sensitive nerves, but don't be overly anxious. Relax when it is time to relax.
