First, the significance of breastfeeding: (two-way) 1, breast milk is the most suitable nutrition for infants, breast milk is rich in infant development necessary for a variety of baby nutrients: such as proteins, carbohydrates (sugar), minerals (inorganic salts) and a variety of vitamins. 2, breast milk (especially colostrum) contains a lot of resistance to viral and bacterial infections of immune substances, can enhance the baby’s ability to resist disease. Breastfed children are generally resistant to disease and rarely get sick, which is irreplaceable by any dairy products. 3, breastfeeding can reduce the mother’s chances of breast cancer, ovarian cancer and osteoporosis, and at the same time can promote uterine contraction, reduce postpartum hemorrhage, which is conducive to postpartum recovery. For beauty-loving moms, breastfeeding can also help you burn off excess calories and help restore your figure. (Breast milk is the ideal food for newborn babies. Currently advocating immediate postpartum breastfeeding, normal full-term newborns can be born within half an hour for the mother to breastfeed, which can prevent hypoglycemia in newborns and promote breast milk secretion. The World Health Organization clearly states that infants should be breastfed for at least 4 months). May 20 every year is Breastfeeding Day in China. August 1-7 every year is the World Breastfeeding Week, the significance of which is to promote the society and the public’s correct understanding of the importance of breastfeeding and support for breastfeeding, and to create a social atmosphere of love for babies and mothers. Problems encountered in breastfeeding: 1. Insufficient breast milk after delivery. There is no feeling of breast distension before feeding, no milk spraying reflex, the baby’s milk cycle is short, and the baby cries because of insufficient food. 2.Cracked nipples. It is caused by the baby’s strong sucking force, infection and improper nursing. It can be seen that the nipple has blood blisters, ruptures, scabs, and severe pain during breastfeeding. Many mothers stop breastfeeding as a result. If you find nipple rupture, nipple tingling when breastfeeding, accompanied by milk deposits or lumps, localized swelling and pain in the breast, the skin color is not red or slightly red, the skin is not hot or slightly hot, then it is very likely to be the early manifestation of mastitis, and should be highly valued. 3, acute simple mastitis. (The reason for this is incorrect breastfeeding, incorrect time, cracked nipples, trauma, etc.) In the early stages, due to the stagnation of milk, poor venous and lymphatic return, the breast localized hard knots and lumps with unclear boundaries, and breast swelling and pain is obvious. Following the emergence of local skin redness, swelling, heat, pain, hard knots obvious, tenderness aggravated, the patient chills, high fever, headache, and other symptoms of systemic toxicity. If you touch the lump fluctuating sense of abscess formation, should be incised to drain pus. Third, the principle of treatment characteristics of Chinese medicine treatment: (I have a complete set of postpartum breast disease treatment program, described below) 1, postpartum milk: Chinese medicine believes that the cause of milk is mostly postpartum qi and blood deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine regulates the maternal spleen and stomach function, and uses Chinese herbs to regulate the principle of benefiting qi, nourishing blood and promoting lactation; at the same time, with the lactation massage, the stimulation of acupoints related to lactation combined with localized massage of the breasts stimulates the secretion of breast milk. In the process of operation, psychological guidance and dietary guidance are provided to the mothers. Clinical practice shows that the effect is obvious. 2.Cracked nipples: Herbal oral agent external application is effective and does not affect breastfeeding. 3, acute mastitis: (from the Chinese medicine point of view analysis, the cause of mastitis is divided into three kinds, milk stagnation; this is a point of unity between Chinese and Western medicine; liver depression stomach heat: lactation period of emotion and mood is not adjusted, or maternal postnatal over-eating fat, sweet, thick and greasy, etc.; feel the external evil: postnatal maternal immunity is caused by low). Milk stagnation is fundamental. When milk stagnation occurs, timely and correct milk discharge is the key to solving the problem. Milk stagnation in the breast and other parts of the breast will cause localized swelling, hard knots, severe pain, some mothers stop breastfeeding due to pain. To deal with this disease, Chinese medicine treatment emphasizes early use of passage and elimination. (There are five kinds of treatment programs as follows) (1) Drainage of milk The stagnation of milk is an important factor in the development of the disease, and when there is stagnation of milk, it is necessary to drain the milk in a timely and correct manner. Manipulation massage of the breast can not only dredge the breast channels, but also reduce swelling, dissipate knots, and promote the flow of qi and blood to unclog the mammary ducts, so as to achieve the effect of painless passage. At the same time, manual massage is a non-radiation, non-invasive, no side effects of natural health care therapy, both scientific and practical, quick results. (Our department has professional breast pumping medical personnel, breast pumping skillful, standardized techniques, with remarkable therapeutic effect, an average of 3-5 patients per day, by the patients and their families unanimously praised) (2) Chinese herbal medicine treatment Identification of the use of lactation, liver and qi, clearing heat and removing toxins, eliminating swelling and dispersal of knots of traditional Chinese medicines decoction, comprehensive conditioning treatment, does not affect breastfeeding. (3) Topical application of traditional Chinese medicine is safe and effective, with few side effects, and has the effect of subduing swelling and dispersing lumps. It can be used locally without affecting breastfeeding. (4) Microwave physiotherapy It is effective in reducing swelling, relieving pain and clearing the channels. (5)Psychological guidance Communicate with the patient during the operation process to eliminate the patient’s fear of mastitis, answer and correct the problems in the breastfeeding process, and provide psychological guidance. (Nowadays, the number of patients who come to the breast clinic for postpartum milk insufficiency and acute mastitis during breastfeeding is increasing. Some of the patients in fact do not have genuine milk insufficiency, but it is due to the blockage of milk ducts and poor milk discharge, and after the use of breast milk draining techniques together with the characteristic treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, the patient’s breast milk volume gradually increases and reaches the requirement of breastfeeding. After the treatment of acute mastitis, if the milk discharge is smooth, the swelling and pain is reduced, and the fever subsides, then the prognosis is better; otherwise, it will be easy to turn into pus, and easy to cause breast leakage, delaying the time and day, and the prognosis is poorer. Therefore, when milk stagnation occurs in the early stage, timely, correct and standardized treatment should be given.
