Auricular Therapy and Basic Care for Blocked Milk Ducts After Cesarean Delivery

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether auricular acupressure combined with basic care can improve symptoms in postpartum women with blocked milk ducts after cesarean delivery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does auricular acupressure combined with basic care reduce breast pain more effectively than basic care alone? * Does the combined approach improve the severity of milk duct blockage compared with basic care alone? * What adverse effects may occur in participants receiving auricular acupressure? Researchers will compare auricular acupressure combined with basic care to sham auricular acupressure plus basic care to determine whether the intervention provides additional benefits. Participants will: * Receive auricular acupressure (or sham auricular acupressure at non-therapeutic ear points) for 3 days. * Be instructed to perform basic breast care under the supervision of midwives three times daily for 3 days. * Record daily activities in monitoring forms, including breastfeeding times, and whether they performed warm compresses and breast massage.
