Question 1

i had my tubes clamped two years ago. a couple nights ago i had some milk come out of my breast, i've been nauseous,dizzy,headache.help what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

?pregnancy: Check a pregnancy test to make sure you are not pregnant. Tubal ligation procedures are very good but occasionally they fail. If you are not pregnant then see your doctor to help you determine another possible cause for your symptoms.

Question 2

hi i have milk leaking from my breasts, i just took a test its show neg. and my both sides of nipples feels a bit pain. and i gain weight, is it mean i am pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Please double check: your pregnancy test with a healthcare provider.  If you are lactating (and you are not nursing an infant) and have weight gain, chances are pretty good that you are pregnant.  And if you are not, then the healthcare provider will need to check you for other conditions that can give you lactation.  Good luck and thank you for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 3

can you get pregnant after a tubal ligation?my period is 5 days late, i'm nauseous, sweating, and have some mild tingling on the sides of my breast.

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Yes, pregnancy after a tubal ligation is still possible. Due to you having had a tubal ligation there are other things to consider as well.While the chances of you having a pregnancy are low, if it did happen the chances of this being a tubal pregnancy(ectopic pregnancy) are higher than the average person. So if there is a concern about pregnancy see you health care provider.
Hope this was helpful.

Question 4

is it normal to have breast pain on one side after your period ends? i am 33 with a large chest that is asymmetrical. the larger side is the one that is sore or tender. it has been for a few days (since day 5 of period to day 8). had a tubal ligation?

Accepted Answer

: It is not normal to have pain due to large breasts.  If the breast cannot be supported without pain, there is a surgical procedure called "reduction mammoplasty" which is available.

Question 5

do your breast  swell and nipple darken when your ovulation? i had 2 normal periods when they were support to come and i had a bilateral tubal ligation done in january. what would cause my breast to be swollen and my nipple to be darker then normal

Accepted Answer

Breast swelling: If you were on birth control pills prior to your tubal ligation, the periods you are now having, since your ovaries are now producing estrogen may be causing the darkened nipple area.  Tubal ligations are not always preventive of pregnancy, so get a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy.

Question 6

is it possible to experience a low supply of breast milk on one side?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is very common.  Many women produce more milk from one breast than the other.  Try feeding the baby first on the breast that produces less milk.

Question 7

i am curious to know if a drink or two is safe and what the side-effects if it were to pass through the breast milk?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol? : Minimal alcohol intake will not harm the baby, its the prolonged and excessive alcohol that will  stimulate him and later depressed the baby.

Question 8

breast feeding stopped for 5 years. i wanted to know side effects of restarting and how to start milk after such a long time. please guide me. ?

Accepted Answer

Breastfeeding: Hmm. I do not see any negative side-effects of restarting to breastfeed but I am curious why. However, it will work better if you have a new baby you can nurse. Start by breastfeeding every 1-2 hours for about 14 to 48 hours.. Drink 8-12 glasses of fluids a day and consult your OB or a lactation specialist. You can also use a mechanical breast pump.

Question 9

dear doctor
i have given birth to a baby on monday night. today is the 5th night and i still dont have milk in my breasts.  i was advised to take elgonyl for milk production . please tell me if this is ok or are there bad side effects ?

Accepted Answer

Absent lactation ?'s: After five days following childbirth, lactation may not occur. Elgonyl will not always stimulate milk production, and is primarily an anti-psychotic used for schizophrenia.  At this point, see your OB physician for pituitary function testing, and perhaps a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist.

Question 10

i took eglonyl to increase milk supply for breastfeeding. the baby now has swollen and hard breasts. i have stopped taking the eglonyl. is this a normal side effect?

Accepted Answer

Age ?: Occasionally a newborn of either gender will have nipple/breast enlargement from hormones you passed through the placenta. While attached, the placenta also removes the hormone but once clamped, some may stay behind for a while with this effect, increasing/fading over a period of weeks. Looking at the ingredients of that item I don't think it has anything to do with this.
