White stuff in nipple

If you find white stuff inside the nipple, it may be caused by milk duct fatty acid. You should go to the hospital for diagnosis and examination. As a woman, you should strengthen the care of the breast, pay attention to diet, pay attention to cosmetics, try to diversify your diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid adverse effects on breast health. For women who are breastfeeding, they should develop good breastfeeding habits.

The nipple is soaked in milk, and the friction of underwear can easily cause nipple cracking, damage, or eczema. Therefore, it is very important to take good care of the nipples. Before and after each breastfeeding, you should gently wash the nipples and areola with warm water to keep the area clean and dry. If the nipple is broken, you can use a breast pump to extract the milk and put it in a bottle to feed the baby, or place a bell-shaped breast pump on the areola and let the baby suck indirectly to make the broken nipple easier to heal.

3. Actively prevent mastitis.

During lactation, improper breast care can easily cause milk stasis and induce acute mastitis. If milk discharge is not smooth, timely treatment should be given, using breast massage to discharge the accumulated milk. First, apply hot compress to the breasts for about 5 minutes, then gently rub the nipples with your fingers and gently pull them outwards. Repeat this operation for 2 to 3 minutes. After the nipples soften slightly, hold up the breasts with one hand and use the palm of the other hand to massage from all sides of the breasts toward the nipples. The technique should be gentle. The milk discharged during the massage can serve as a lubricant to avoid damaging the skin.

4. Wear a suitable bra.

During lactation, the breasts become fuller and their weight increases suddenly. A suitable bra can support the breasts, reduce excessive stretching of the breast ligaments, and prevent breast sagging. During lactation, nipples often leak milk, so you should choose a loose, soft, and absorbent bra to avoid damage to the nipples caused by friction with hard objects. Bras should not be washed together with other clothes to avoid being stained with fibers and dust particles; dust off the hair and dust inside the bra before use.
