Blocked Milk Ducts treatment in Benito Juárez

Blocked milk ducts occur when one of the small canals that carry milk inside the breast becomes blocked during breastfeeding, which prevents milk from flowing normally in that area. It is usually noticed as a tender spot or a lump in the breast.

Common symptoms:

• Firm, painful lump in one part of the breast
• Reddened or warm area to the touch
• Discomfort that improves when the breast is emptied

When should you seek care? It is advisable to seek care if fever appears, the redness increases, or the discomfort does not ease, since the blocked duct can become complicated.

Who provides guidance? The general practitioner can assess the situation during breastfeeding and provide guidance on general care. If the symptoms intensify or recur, the prudent course is to have a professional review the case and support the process.
