Hi I am a healthy 26 yr female. I had my daughter a year ago and only breast-fed for 6 weeks before she had to be put on special formula. Yet I am still lactating and its starting to get painful because I can feel the sensation like my milk is \"dropping\". Im worried something might be wrong with the milk ducts as to the fact when my daughter was 3 weks old I developed severe mastitus. please help.
Hi, I understood your query.  - Chat Doctor.  It happens when baby is not fed for a long time, it overflows. It's not a sign of milk duct problem.  - Stagnation of milk in breast may cause little pain.  - mastitis is a condition of swelling, hardness, painful/tender breast-which is many a time following some trauma / hard push to a lactating breast. Many times it is associated with fever.  A healed mastitis is not known to cause defect in milk ducts unless it was treated by incision &
