Pathological causes of mastitis

As a woman, what she most hopes for is to be a good mother, and the most painful thing is to suffer from breast disease. Perhaps most women dare not imagine what would happen if they suffer from mastitis or even breast cancer? In recent years, many women have been troubled by breast diseases. But I have no idea why I suffer from breast disease.

1. Bacterial invasion: Most of the pathogens of this disease are Staphylococcus aureus, and a few are Streptococci. Bacteria enter through the cracks in the nipple skin or the chapped areola, spread along the lymphatic vessels to the fat and fibrous tissue between the mammary lobules and the glandular lobules, causing acute suppurative cellulitis of the breast. There are also a few cases where postpartum infection complications occur in other parts of the body, and the bacteria spread to the breast through the blood circulation, causing the disease.

2. Milk stasis: Milk is conducive to the growth of invading bacteria. The causes of milk stasis include: ① The nipples are too small or inverted and are not corrected in time before birth, making it difficult for the baby to suck milk or even unable to breastfeed. ② Excessive milk and incomplete emptying. The mother does not understand the secretion of milk, and the excess milk cannot be discharged in time and is retained in the breast. ③ Blockage of the milk ducts makes it difficult to discharge milk. Inflammation, tumors and external compression of the milk ducts themselves can all affect normal breastfeeding.

3. Nipple cracks. After delivery, the mother fails to master the correct breastfeeding skills, or the baby's sucking is abnormal, or excessive use of irritants such as soap or ethanol desiccant on the nipples, as well as the baby's oral motor dysfunction, can cause nipple cracks, allowing bacteria to invade through the small cracks in the nipple and reach the subcutaneous and interlobular tissues through the lymphatic vessels to cause infection. When the nipples are cracked, breastfeeding is painful and the milk cannot be fully sucked out, causing milk stasis and creating conditions for the reproduction of invading bacteria.

If you want others to love you, you must love yourself. This sentence is a warning to all women: as a woman, you must take care of yourself. Maybe you are not beautiful or smart. But as long as you know how to love yourself, you will have people who love you. Whether it is a friend, a lover or a family member, you must tell them that they must love themselves before they can be loved by others.
