Hi Mummies.. I felt a lump around the areola area near to the nipple when I'm hand expressing just now.. felt a lil pain when I squeeze it.. is that a clogged / blocked ducts ? Cos usually when i have clogged or blocked ducts it's not at that area..

hi there, it is likely a clogged/blocked area. sometimes it could have been a block or clog from a "upper stream" area that have reduced in size and flow down but not small enough to fully come out. it could also be accidentally press on the area like our sports bra, bra or baby pushing u or someone elbow u (my husband did). do the normal stuff for clog/block ducts. warm compress and pump - a few sessions and it should go away

Yea it is. Try massaging it and using warm compress. It should be clear in few pumps.

thanks
