Stop Lactation

[Guest guest]

I have a patient coming in tomorrow who has just had a stillbirth

delivery at 8 months. Her bleeding has subsided today, she delivered

on Saturday night. Her biggest worry, both physically and emotionally

is for when her milk comes in.

 

I wonder if anyone has treated this before and if you have any tips

for stopping/slowing lactation.

 

Thanks for any input.

Another textbook strategy is to use 120 g of mai ya daily, divided

into 30-60 g doses. Either dry-fried or raw mai ya can be used, and

sometimes the two are used 50:50.

See the full monograph from Chen & Chen at http://tinyurl.com/ap365

One of its sections says:

 

Inhibition of lactation: 163 women who wanted to stop lactation

immediately postpartum were treated with a 400 mg capsule of Huajiao

[Pc Zanthoxyli bungeani] tid for 3-4 days, with a 93.9% effectiveness.

The capsule was prepared by grinding Huajiao into powder and placing

it in capsules.
