Hello, could you please advise me on how to relieve a milk duct blockage? I am frequently breastfeeding and expressing milk, but nothing seems to improve. I’ve seen doctors who told me to keep expressing. Despite trying everything—using a breast pump, hand expression, massage, taking a shower, and even washing with household soap—I can't seem to get rid of it. The milk duct blockage is near my armpit.

A lactation lump near the armpit is quite rare, as such issues usually occur in the breast. It's important to understand what kind of formation or swelling you're dealing with. If it doesn't go away, doesn't change, and causes discomfort, it's best to consult a mammologist or healthcare professional to rule out other possible causes, such as an abscess or cyst. In the meantime, try to change your breastfeeding positions more often, gently massage the area around the swelling, and apply warmth to improve drainage. But most importantly, don't delay—it's better to have a specialist check it out.

Place the child on a pillow and gently support their underarm. Make sure that when you hold them, their chin is directed toward the area where it hurts. This helps them feel more comfortable and supported.

Gently massage this area thoroughly, then place a damp cloth on it. You can also soften a cabbage leaf and apply it if you'd like.

When feeding, the baby's chin should be turned toward the affected area. You can also apply a cold compress to the chest or other hot spots to help relieve discomfort.

The only thing that helped me was Traumeel. I applied it, it absorbed, and I reapplied. I kept repeating this process. By evening, the pain was completely gone.

Please apply a crushed cabbage leaf or grated raw potato to the affected area. If you have any discomfort or questions, don't hesitate to reach out for support.

Please carefully examine the nipple. Are the ducts blocked? It looks like a small pimple. Sometimes, this white bump can be gently squeezed to release milk, which may flow out suddenly and forcefully.

Ekaterina Thank you. I visited both a mammologist and a gynecologist, and they said I have a milk duct blockage (lactostasis).
