Duration of milk stasis

If the milk congestion is detected early and the various measures to improve the symptoms are taken in time, it usually lasts only a few days. If the symptoms persist for more than two days, the woman concerned should consult her midwife, her doctor or a lactation consultation. Depending on how advanced the milk congestion is or whether there is inflammation of the breast, the complaints can last for several days.
