1. Massage
Patients who are breastfeeding often experience milk discharge, which is considered a normal physiological occurrence. Appropriate local massage can help promote milk ejection and relieve swelling and pain in the affected area.
2. Medication
For milk leakage from accessory breasts, medications such as Xiaojin Pill, Xiaoyao Powder, or Rukang Tablets may be taken orally under a doctor's guidance to alleviate local pain.
3. Surgery
If the accessory breast is large or milk engorgement is severe, surgical removal of the accessory breast under medical guidance may be considered to improve symptoms.
Patients experiencing milk discharge from accessory breasts should, under medical supervision, choose an appropriate treatment method based on their individual condition, and avoid squeezing the area on their own to prevent worsening of symptoms.
