• Definition:  "when the breast has an area of localized milk stasis."

• Signs and symptoms:  breast engorgement, localized tender breast lump or blushed color, breast may feel hot, white and painful bleb on the end of the nipple, painful and difficult lactation.

• Causes:  insufficient emptying of breast; not positioning the nursing baby properly on the breast; waiting too long between feedings; supplementing nursing with bottle feeding; use of pacifier; tugging, pulling or twisting of the nipple by the infant; carrying heavy front-holding infant carriers, heavy purses or diaper bags; wearing bras that are too tight.

• 2/3 of breastfeeding women experience blocked ducts.

• This article demonstrated that 1-7 sessions of ultrasound with an average of 3.3 sessions resolved symptoms (pain and breast lump) in 34 instances reviewed.  10 women only required 1 session and 13 only needed 2 sessions.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

​​

• Ultrasound is applied using the head of an ultrasound probe that is placed directly in contact with your skin via a transmission coupling gel.

• The ultrasound waves that pass through the skin cause a vibration of the local soft tissues which can cause deep heating locally.  It's like a deep warm compress plus an electric toothbrush right to the blocked duct!!!!!
