CLOGGED DUCTS

Clogged milk ducts occur when milk flow is obstructed, causing a tender lump in the breast that may feel swollen, warm, or painful. This can make breastfeeding uncomfortable and stressful, and if left untreated, clogged ducts can lead to mastitis—a more serious infection. Prompt treatment can help relieve symptoms, restore milk flow, and support a more positive breastfeeding experience.
