This study explored the possibility of prediction of pathological postpartum breast engorgement in lactating women in relation to intense breast engorgement at the end of the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and the possibility of prevention and resolution of postpartum breast engorgement with expression with a breast pump of colostrum before the appearance of transitional milk. Subjects and Methods: The first group included 70 women with pathological postpartum breast engorgement. The second group included 52 postpartum women, with 24 women having colostrum extracted by the breast pump from each breast once or twice for a duration of 20-25 minutes sequentially in the first 2-3 days after delivery in addition to the removal of colostrum by the baby, before engorgement developed. Twenty-eight women had colostrum removed only by the bab
