Blocked Milk Ducts During Breastfeeding

At times, the tiny channels responsible for transporting milk from milk-producing cells to the nipple might encounter obstructions. A small yet painful reddish lump or slight swelling near the nipple could manifest as the primary symptom, even if the mother feels generally well and without a fever. In cases where the blockage occurs at the duct opening on the nipple, a small white mark or "bleb" might become noticeable.

​

Blocked ducts are generally not severe and typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours with home remedies, but they can cause discomfort. If the issue persists beyond 48 hours, there's a potential risk of developing mastitis—a broader inflammation of the breast. This is when it becomes advisable to consider therapeutic ultrasound treatment as a possible solution.
