Asked By:Rtheis18 in Lake City, MN

I had a saline breat augmentation about 7 years ago. Since then they have been wonderful and I have had 2 children and breastfeed them. However my second was born about 5 months ago and I was breastfeeding just fine but about two days ago one breast became very hard and is producing little milk. Do I have a implant issue or is it a issue with a blocked milk duct ?
