What is Clogged Milk Duct:

A clogged milk duct occurs when one of the milk ducts in the breast becomes blocked or obstructed. This blockage can cause a painful lump in the breast and can affect milk flow. It is usually not associated with infection.

 

What is Blocked Milk Duct:

A blocked milk duct is essentially the same as a clogged milk duct. It refers to a milk duct that is obstructed, leading to pain, swelling, and sometimes redness in the breast. It can be caused by factors like pressure on the breast, inadequate drainage, or a poor latch.

 

What is Engorgement:

Breast engorgement happens when the breasts become overly full of milk, causing them to feel swollen, firm, and tender. This can occur in the early days of breastfeeding or if there’s a delay in feeding or pumping. Engorgement can make latching more challenging for the baby.

 

What is Mastitis:

Mastitis is an infection or inflammation of the breast tissue. It often presents with symptoms like a sore, red, and hot breast, along with flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills. Mastitis requires prompt treatment.

What is Abscess:

An abscess is a collection of pus that can develop within the breast tissue. It is usually a complication of untreated mastitis, an infection of the breast. Abscesses are painful and require medical attention, often involving drainage and antibiotics.


What is Low Milk Supply:

Low milk supply refers to the inadequate production of breast milk to meet the baby’s needs. It can have various causes, including poor latching, insufficient glandular tissue, or hormonal imbalances. Strategies to increase milk supply may be necessary.

 

What is Milk Blebs or Milk Blisters:

Milk blebs or milk blisters are small, painful white or clear spots on the nipple or areola.
They occur when a milk duct opening becomes blocked by dried milk or skin, preventing milk from flowing.
