While breastfeeding, an obstruction of milk flow can occur in the ductal system of the breast. This can lead to inflammation and/or infection of the breast, also known as mastitis. Most often this occurs early on, in the first 6-8 weeks postpartum, however, it can happen at any time while breastfeeding.
**If you are experiencing any signs or symptoms of infection, such as swelling, redness, or heat, it is recommended that you contact your doctor first to rule out infection and receive an appropriate antibiotic if needed.
Being referred to Hulst Jepsen for physical therapy changed my life. Everyone is pleasant, kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. From the first visit, I began learning techniques that made a real difference in my health and life. After only 7 visits, I have taken control of problems that had plagued me for years. I could not be more grateful.
