简要总结
The purpose of this study was to reveal the effect of electroacupoint on scanty milk production in lactating women.
详细描述
Postnatal scanty milk secretion is a common complaint. Some physical and medicinal therapies have been proposed to enhance milk production. These therapies must be both successful and safe for both the mother and the child. In many cases, milk supply can be increased by frequent, regular milk removal, Medication to increase milk supply (galactogogues) such as domperidone.
Domperidone has been linked to maternal adverse effects in galactogogue trials and cases reported to the Food and Drug Administration include dry mouth, headache, dizziness, nausea, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, palpitations malaise, and shortness of breath. Some of these were more frequent with dosages greater than with 30 mg daily. Drug withdrawal symptoms consisting of insomnia, anxiety, and tachycardia were reported in a woman taking 80 mg of domperidone daily for 8 months as a galactogogue who abruptly tapered the dose over 3 days.
