What is residual milk

After a woman becomes pregnant, her breasts will secrete milk, which is the main way for the fetus to supplement nutrition. As the fetus grows larger, it no longer drinks breast milk. Some pregnant women still have some milk in their breasts. Some of this milk can be absorbed by the body, while some will remain in the breasts. The milk that remains in the breasts is called residual milk. Residual breasts will have some impact on girls and people need to pay attention to it. Here is a detailed introduction to what residual breasts are.

If a woman does not drain her milk completely after weaning, the milk will deteriorate over time and form pus, or even bloody pus or black water. If it is not drained in time, the entire breast tissue will become diseased or even cancerous. The discharged fluid, such as pus, brown water, blood pus, black water, etc., must be paid attention to if such discharge occurs, because such symptoms are early signs of breast cancer. The other is a paste, such as yellow, brown, and black, which have a higher chance of becoming cancerous.

Nipple secretions are mainly caused by metabolism. Waste accumulates in the nipple or nipple pore, making the nipple pore blocked. It is generally a paste, such as white, yellow, or black. If toxins are not discharged in time, they accumulate too much and form bumps on the areola or even inverted nipples. Inverted nipples are a sign of breast cancer. In terms of symptoms, there are two types, one is liquid and the other is paste. In terms of nature, there are true and false discharge. True discharge is liquid flowing out of the milk duct. Pseudo-discharge is caused by the shedding of nipple epidermal cells. A small amount of it looks like bean curd dregs and is common in people with inverted nipples.

The breast tissue atrophies after breastfeeding, and the milk remaining in the breast after weaning will form residual milk if it is not discharged in time! Generally speaking, the human body can absorb 80% of the milk after weaning, but the remaining 20% ​​of the milk will remain in our mammary ducts. The normal temperature of the human body is 36.5°. If the residual milk stays in the breast for a long time, it will ferment and deteriorate, and will gradually affect the health of the breast. Hazards: Long-term presence in the mammary ducts will cause the ducts to atrophy and age, making the breast tissue lose vitality and become in a pathological state. Among them, clear water discharge may be a model of breast cancer, which is characterized by being colorless and transparent, occasionally sticky, and leaving no trace after overflow. In addition, bloody discharge can be bright red, yellow, coffee brown and other colors, which is more dangerous.

After the discharge, the first thing that happens is that the mammary ducts are unblocked, restoring their normal function, transporting nutrients and expelling toxins, and then the entire breast tissue is in a normal state, activating mammary cells, fat cells, and fibroblasts, giving the breasts a new state of vitality. After the cells are nourished, the breasts' ability to absorb fat will be enhanced, resulting in a plump, beautiful and healthy appearance.
