Abstract

Breast milk blockage is a common problem experienced by postpartum mothers and can interfere with successful breastfeeding. One non-pharmacological intervention that may help overcome this problem is oxytocin massage. This study aimed to analyze the effect of oxytocin massage on the incidence of breast milk blockage in postpartum mothers at Tinongko Community Health Center. This study used a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The sample consisted of 20 postpartum mothers who experienced breast milk blockage and were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation before and after the administration of oxytocin massage. The incidence of breast milk blockage was assessed based on clinical signs, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The results showed that all respondents experienced breast milk blockage before the intervention. After oxytocin massage, 85.0% of mothers no longer experienced breast milk blockage, while 15.0% reported a reduction in symptoms. The Wilcoxon test revealed a statistically significant difference in breast milk blockage before and after oxytocin massage (p < 0.05). In conclusion, oxytocin massage is effective in reducing breast milk blockage and improving milk flow in postpartum mothers. This intervention can be applied as part of routine postpartum care to support successful breastfeeding.
