How can acute mastitis be prevented?

  Acute septic mastitis often occurs during the lactation period, especially within 1 to 2 months after the birth of the first mother, so it is also called acute lactation or puerperal septic mastitis, from late pregnancy to prevent acute mastitis, good puerperal health care.  In the lactation period, it is especially important to do the following five aspects of prevention to prevent acute mastitis.  The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and most popular items. In fact, this practice is not necessarily appropriate. First of all, we need to distinguish what is the cause of low milk? Is it due to low milk production or milk stagnation in the milk ducts? In other words, it is important to identify whether the milk is real or fake. In many cases, the milk has been secreted continuously, and more and more accumulate in the breast, but because the milk ducts are not yet smooth, can not be smoothly discharged, the performance of people is “not much milk”, that is, pseudo milk less, this time to supplement the milk food can only play a counterproductive role, and very easy to lead to acute mastitis.  The actual fact is that you can use a gauze dipped in warm water to clean your breasts before nursing. Do not use chemicals like soap and alcohol to scrub the nipples, otherwise it will make the nipples local defenses decrease and dry out the nipples leading to bacterial infection.  Acute septic mastitis often occurs during lactation and can be prevented by starting to prevent it from late pregnancy and by doing a good job of puerperal care. It should also be prevented.  3, correct breastfeeding: advocate regular breastfeeding, every 2 to 3 hours is appropriate. The two breasts alternate in breastfeeding, and it is best to have equal opportunities to prevent asymmetry between the two breasts after breastfeeding, to empty the breasts and not to accumulate milk. When one breast is full, use a breast pump to suck up the other breast. Do not let the baby sleep with the nipple in his mouth after breastfeeding, as the baby’s saliva contains digestive enzymes, which can cause the milk to form cheese-like substances and block the milk ducts, resulting in poor milk drainage and even stagnation. Breastfeeding posture should be correct, preferably in a sitting position, and less in a lying position. After breastfeeding, the baby should be held upright, with his head resting on the mother’s shoulder, and his back gently patted. This will allow the baby to expel the air inhaled during breastfeeding by burping and prevent spitting up. Wearing a suitable bra after breastfeeding can not only hold up the breasts and keep the blood circulation inside the breasts smooth, but also help correct sagging breasts.  4.Massage to open the milk: Women who give birth by cesarean section often have slow milk production and insufficient milk at the beginning, so they need to open the milk and massage in time. Manual milk discharge time should be 20 to 30 minutes each time, and a single time should not be too long. If a milk discharge does not work, simply increasing the massage time will only increase the probability of local edema. The correct massage technique is to first apply paraffin oil or Kessler to lubricate the skin, slide your fingers from the outer edge of the breast to the areola, and then lift the nipple up and down several times to cause local negative pressure under the areola, thus achieving a role similar to that of a baby sucking. In addition to the stimulation of massage techniques, the end of the massage can let the child sucking, to increase the drainage reflex, so that after the dual role of massage plus sucking, the effect will be better, can reduce the occurrence of acute mastitis.  5, to keep the environment clean, emotionally stable, avoid anger angry: maternity room temperature, humidity should be appropriate, generally to 22 ~ 24 ℃ is appropriate, indoor air to fresh. Some people think that women are afraid of wind, easy to sweat, cold and cold, so the doors and windows are closed tightly, the indoor air is dirty, which is not good for women and babies. In addition, the proper diet, bowel movements, emotional stability is important for the mother. The Chinese medicine believes that acute mastitis is the result of liver stagnation and gas stagnation and stomach fire. If the liver is stagnant, the milk ducts will be blocked. If you are frightened and angry, your lactation will stop. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of money for the purpose of the actual project.
