Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex: Characteristics, Risk Factors, and Its Association with Depression Scores and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy.
Background: Dysphoric milk ejection reflex (D-MER) is a phenomenon that occurs before milk letdown and is described as a wave of negative or devastating emotions, ranging from mild to severe and lasting for seconds to minutes. To date, there has been little research regarding this phenomenon. This study aims to determine the prevalence of D-MER in our population as well as its association with postnatal depression scores and breastfeeding self-efficacy. Methods: Lactating persons between 4 and 12 weeks postpartum at our institution were invited to complete an anonymous 59-question survey via an online platform. Questions asked included patient demographics, presence of symptoms of dysphoria (including timing, duration, and frequency), the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (BSES-sf). Results: In total, 201 women completed the survey. Twelve women were classified as likely having D-MER (6%). Symptom resolution primarily occurred within a minute to 5 minutes (58%). Mean EPDS scores differed significantly between those with likely D-MER and those without (12.2 vs. 5.4, p = 0.002). BSES-sf scores differed significantly between the two groups (43.1 vs. 52.5, p = 0.009). Preexisting depression or anxiety was not associated with D-MER (p = 0.133), other reported mood disorders differed significantly between those with D-MER and those without (p = 0.004). Demographic characteristics of women with and without D-MER were similar. Conclusion: D-MER prevalence may be lower than previously reported. Patients with likely D-MER appear to have lower breastfeeding self-efficacy and higher depression scores. Those with preexisting mood disorders may be at higher risk of experiencing D-MER.
