If you have had a clogged duct...

Do you always get it in the same spot on the same side?  It is so annoying and painful. I know everything to do for it but it keeps coming back. I am just curious if it is the norm to have it keep recurring in the same exact spot.

I don't have them, but apparently lecithin can help chronic clogged ducts.  I guess it's not that uncommon to keep getting them in the same spot over and over.

I don't know if it can be considered "chronic" if 4 months go by in between, but the two times I've had clogged ducts they've been in roughly the same place, yes.  Maybe my DD's preferred positions encourage them?

It happens at least once a month on my left side in the same spot it sucks and I'm currently battling it right now.

I alway get them near my bra line or way back by my armpits.

I have lost track now of how many times, this may be the 6th?  7th?  I just had it less than 2 weeks ago, but it is always on left side bra line and I don't wear underwire --it is the side he prefers too so you wouldn't think it would be clogged.

Mine is always in the same spot, BUT he always drains it when he nurses.  My LC said not to worry about it if it drained.  Whenever I'm really full I have a huge lump there, but he always drains it so the lump goes away.  Even so when I massage hard in that spot I feel it so I guess it's just a spot that is susceptible to getting clogged.

I've only had them twice (both in the last month) and it was the same spot on my left breast....on the bottom bra line area.

For me, it's always in the same spot. It's the only place the milk ever backs up. 

I have started taking Lecithin which is supposed to help with recurrent plugged ducts.  If you keep having it you may want to try it out.  I take 4 pills per day.
