Introduction
To help relieve blocked mammary ducts, one may consume papaya, luffa network (luffa sponge), or Rukang tablets. Papaya can to some extent reduce swelling and promote blood circulation, thereby helping to unblock the mammary ducts. Luffa network has the effect of promoting blood flow and regulating menstruation, which may help alleviate pain and swelling associated with mastitis. Rukang tablets can regulate qi, stop bleeding, soften hardness, and dissipate nodules, making them effective in treating blocked mammary ducts caused by mammary hyperplasia.
Breast duct blockages can generally be relieved by consuming foods or medications such as papaya, loofah network (silk squash vine), or Rukang tablets.
1. Papaya
Papaya contains abundant vitamin C, glucose, organic acids, and other substances, which can help reduce swelling and resolve blood stasis to a certain extent, thereby aiding in clearing blocked breast ducts.
2. Loofah Network (Luffa vascular bundle)
Loofah network is a traditional Chinese herb known for its effects of promoting blood circulation and unblocking meridians. It can help alleviate breast abscesses and pain to a certain degree.
3. Rukang Tablets
Rukang tablets are a type of traditional Chinese medicine composed primarily of Astragalus, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Prunella vulgaris, oyster, and other ingredients. They help regulate qi, stop bleeding, soften hardness, and dissipate nodules, thus effectively treating breast duct blockages caused by mammary hyperplasia to a certain extent.
In addition to the above, medications such as Runu Sanjie tablets may also be used. Always follow medical advice and use medications appropriately.
