Why did the mother's milk become red?

Recently, at the obstetric ward of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Jinan City, when a nurse inspected the ward, it was found that the mother's mother's milk was red and bloody. Immediately reported to the doctor on duty. Bao Ma saw the bleeding of the breast bleeding from the breast. After all, many popular sciences tell us that if squeezing bleeding may be a precursor of breast cancer.

What should I do if I think of the children waiting to be fed? Can I continue to breastfeed for Xiaobao?

Yang Qiuhong, the director of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Jinan City Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said to Baoma after inspection, "Don't be afraid, this is a rust tube syndrome. This situation often encounters this situation in the ward, and it will subscribe for about ten days."

What is the rust tube syndrome? Yang Qiuhong said that rust tube syndrome ("RPS"), that is, spontaneous nipple hemorrhage, occurs in pregnant women or first mothers. Quickly increased, usually painless, bilateral, usually the hemogenous overflow rotation is normal after a few days, or it may occur during pregnancy.

"After pregnancy, women's breasts will prepare for future breastfeeding. The most obvious macro feeling is the increase in breast volume. Micro, the catheter and glandular gland grows rapidly and develop in the micro. The blood flowing into the breast also increases a lot. At the same time, some blood cells will penetrate into the duct, so in the first few days of breastfeeding, Bao Ma will find blood in the milk when breastfeeding or milking. Sometimes it may not be rusty red, and pink, orange, brown brown may appear. Brown is like sewage discharged from the rusty water pipe, so it is renamed the "rust tube syndrome '" vividly. Yang Qiuhong explained.

Usually this situation will stop within a few days after the child is born, and it does not have to wait until the milk color looks normal to feed the child. A small amount of blood will not affect the baby. Sometimes, smart babies spit out the blood in the milk themselves. "It should be noted that at this time, the pediatrician should be notified, so that the subject knows that the blood comes from the mother instead of the child, and will not misunderstand the child's health problem." Yang Qiuhong said that in fact, such milk is harmless and can normal breast milk. Feeding, but if this situation lasts longer, it will not improve after a week, it is recommended to seek medical treatment.
