Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Acupuncture Treatment on the change of milk production.
Methods: The subjects were 43 women who admitted for postpartum treatment in Hospital of Woosuk University from 25th July 2005 to 25th May 2007. The Control group were 22 women and Acupunture treatment group were 21 women. In control group we measured only the breast milk amount and in acupunture treatment group we measured the breast milk amount after acupunture at Sot#aek(SI1), $Ch{\bar{o}}njung$(CV17), $Yug{\bar{u}}n$(ST18), Chok-Samni(ST36). We checked breast milk amount, VAS(satisfaction of breast milk amount), vital sign, wrong response everyday. We tested CBC, LFT(AST, ALT, ${\gamma}-GTP$), prolactin before and after clinical study.
Results:VAS of acupunture treatment group was significantly decresed compared with that of control group.
