A blocked duct is also called a clogged duct. It is a block or clog of milk inside a milk duct. Milk cannot flow around the blockage to the nipple opening. You may have an ongoing tender or painful lump or an ongoing firm area inside your breast. This condition is a blockage. It is NOT the same as a firm area in your breast that goes away with feeding.

You may already know you have a blocked duct. You feel the pain. you feel the lump. You may even be discouraged and are understandably keen to feel better. And you may not know but need confirmation. You are not alone.
