A member asked:
What sort of disease is a clogged milk duct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a disease: When breastfeeding, sometimes the thick secretions can obstruct a milk duct. If this persists it can lead to a mastitis. Gentle massage with warm compresses will usually allow the blockage to release.
