What if I can’t get the milk out?

The inability to express milk may be caused by physiological factors, blocked milk ducts, etc. Women with physiological factors can consume more protein-rich food, which is conducive to the secretion of milk; blocked milk ducts should use negative pressure suction to alleviate the symptoms. 1. Physiological factors: Breastfeeding women have low milk secretion due to dietary factors, endocrine disorders, emotions and other factors, resulting in the symptom of not being able to express milk. Patients should consume more foods rich in vitamins, proteins and calcium under the guidance of the doctor, which is conducive to the secretion of milk. 2.
