Dr. Priya Kumari [2] | Dr. Deepa S [4] | Dr. Anu Shweta
Abstract: Introduction: Breast Engorgement is a painful and unpleasant condition affecting large number of women's in the early postpartum period.

Background: Breast engorgement occurs during the first week of breast feeding due to as a result of delayed, infrequent or interrupted removal of milk from the breast. Aim: To compare the effectiveness of ultrasound with latching technique and ultrasound with reverse pressure softening of areola technique in women with postpartum Breast engorgement. Objectives: 1) To assess the effectiveness of ultrasound with latching technique in women with postpartum Breast engorgement.2) To assess the effectiveness of ultrasound with reverse pressure softening of areola technique in women with postpartum Breast engorgement.3) To compare the effectiveness of ultrasound with latching technique and ultrasound with reverse pressure softening of areola technique in women with postpartum Breast engorgement. Method: Group A was given ultrasound with reverse pressure softening of areola and group B was given ultrasound with latching technique. Conclusion: This study it is inferred that the ultrasound with reverse pressure softening of areola technique shows greater reduction in postpartum breast engorgement women.
