Milk expression is a normal part of breastfeeding, but in developed countries in particular, the focus tends to center on mechanical expression. In Russia, there is a long tradition of hands-on techniques that continues in the present day and includes mothers turning to providers trained in hand expression and breast massage techniques to resolve breastfeeding complications including engorgement, plugged ducts, and mastitis. As observed over the course of several trips to Russia, Russian clinicians routinely combine hand expression with breast massage for the treatment of milk stasis, engorgement, and plugged ducts. A better understanding of these hands-on techniques to assist in resolution of complications may provide additional treatment options for the lactation community.
挤奶是母乳喂养的正常组成部分，但在发达国家尤其如此，其重点往往集中在机械挤奶上。在俄罗斯，有一个使用手部技巧的悠久传统，这种传统延续至今，包括母亲向接受过手部挤奶和乳房按摩技术培训的提供者寻求帮助，以解决母乳喂养并发症，如乳房肿胀、乳管堵塞和乳腺炎。在几次前往俄罗斯的过程中观察到，俄罗斯临床医生通常将手部挤奶与乳房按摩相结合，用于治疗乳汁淤积、乳房肿胀和乳管堵塞。更好地了解这些手部技巧有助于解决并发症，可以为哺乳期人群提供更多的治疗选择。
