Is it feasible to use traditional Chinese medicine externally for breast milk mastitis? Mastitis is a disease that many women will have all their lives. Mastitis in women is generally not a very serious disease, but mastitis will develop. When the disease develops, it will be very hungry and even develop into a more serious problem. Mastitis is also treated when it occurs. Now let's learn about the prescription of breast milk mastitis. Mastitis during lactation is acute, rapid and severe. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by milk deposition, accumulation of pathogenic toxin and obstruction of meridians. Therefore, the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine focuses on "communication", and the situation of mammary collaterals can be improved through oral administration or external treatment. In external treatment, local application of traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect on reducing swelling, controlling illness and promoting milk ejection. Topical medicine is directly applied to the swollen or painful part of the breast, which can be directly absorbed by the skin and has an effect. Commonly used Chinese medicine external application method: 1, Danggui Banxia Wei Ru powder external application method: 25g each of Danggui, Banxia, Olibanum and Myrrha, grind into fine powder, sieve with 120 mesh, extract the fine powder, mix it with warm water and apply it to the affected area. If the medicine is dry, it can be changed or sprayed with warm water to make it moist. Once the symptoms disappear, you can stop applying. 2. External application of fresh hibiscus leaves: 100 ~ 150g fresh hibiscus leaves are picked, mashed, blended with tea oil and applied to the affected breast, 2-3 times a day, and kept for a long time. When breastfeeding is needed, wash the breast with warm water and empty the milk in time.
Can Chinese medicine hot compress breast during lactation? The reasons of milk stasis are: nipple dysplasia (too small or invagination) hinders breastfeeding; Too much milk or the baby's milk intake is small, so that the milk cannot be completely emptied; Obstruction of mammary duct affects milk discharge. Many mothers have mastitis and want to use hot compress to reduce inflammation. This practice is not correct, so don't apply hot compress at this time. Hot compress will accelerate the blood flow in the breast, and blood will enter the blood more easily. If the blood flow is faster, it will accelerate the spread of blood, so mother must not use hot compress to solve inflammation. As long as you pay more attention to yourself, you can avoid breast inflammation. Whether before or after feeding, mothers should always keep their breasts clean. Especially after feeding, wash your nipples with clear water, preferably with clear water, and don't use other soap. Soap can irritate nipples. In addition, after giving birth to the baby, try to make the baby a little earlier and suck your nipple to get through the breast.
