How to treat serous mastitis

My baby is now 3 months old, and this is my first child. I don't have much experience, so I just let the child breastfeed when he is hungry. However, these few days I found that my left breast was partially painful, and I could feel a hard lump, and there was also powdery residue discharged from the nipple. After going to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was serous mastitis. The doctor introduced to me in detail the causes of the disease and good treatment methods. Now I will explain serous mastitis to women.

It is caused by irregular epithelial hyperplasia and secretory dysfunction in the breast, and a large amount of lipid-containing secretions accumulate in the nipple and subareolar mammary ducts, leading to duct expansion, followed by decomposition of the accumulation in the ducts. The chemical products of decomposition continuously stimulate the tissues around the ducts, causing inflammatory infiltration and fibrous tissue hyperplasia. At this time, if the lesion expands further, an inflammatory mass may form. Sometimes the inflammation attacks acutely and forms an abscess. The pus is often mixed with powdery residues, and powdery residues are also discharged from the nipple pores. This is called "acne-like mastitis." Because there are a large number of eosinophils, plasma cells and lymphocytes infiltrating around the necrotic tissue, especially plasma cells, it is called plasma cell mastitis.

The traditional Chinese medicine Ru'an Patch is recommended for the treatment of serous mastitis. Ru'an Patch can drain pus and remove foreign matter in the treatment of serous mastitis. It can quickly remove necrotic tissue from the body and remove necrotic tissue. The plaster applied to the body surface stimulates nerve endings, dilates blood vessels through reflexes, promotes local blood circulation, improves nutrition of surrounding tissues, and achieves the purpose of reducing swelling, inflammation and analgesia. At the same time, it can promote the growth of cell tissue, so that the new tissue can grow from the inside out to flatten the wound and heal it.

To prevent it, you can start from two aspects. One is to keep the breasts clean, such as washing the breasts frequently with warm water and changing underwear frequently. Second, keep your baby’s mouth clean while breastfeeding. I hope this can help female friends.
