How long does mastitis surgery take to heal?

For more serious mastitis, surgery and incision and drainage methods can generally be chosen. This type of treatment is more effective, but many people will naturally consider a question: how long will it take for mastitis to heal after surgery and incision and drainage? This is a question that many friends are very concerned about. Below we invite experts to explain it in detail, hoping that it will be of some help to everyone.

First, let me briefly introduce the surgical incision and drainage method for the treatment of mastitis. If a cyst appears in the breast, it is usually necessary to cut the cyst open and drain it. If it is a small cyst, local anesthesia is used. If it is a large cyst, intravenous anesthesia is usually used. Make an incision in the center of the cyst or where the fluctuation is most obvious, cut the cyst open, and then drain the pus out. Surgical treatment methods such as incision and drainage generally require recovery within a week. Of course, some patients will take longer to recover, and the actual situation depends on the individual.

Non-surgical treatments can be used selectively for mastitis. This type of treatment is generally for mild patients. In the early stages, patients generally experience symptoms such as local pain and swelling. For these symptoms, a manual breast pump can be selectively used for the patient. Using a manual breast pump can drain the milk as much as possible. For some pain symptoms, it is generally necessary to selectively use analgesics, which can effectively relieve the patient's pain symptoms. Generally, fish oil bismuth can be selectively used, which can mainly promote the healing of wounds.

For mastitis, physical treatment methods can be used selectively. Generally, hot compresses can be used selectively for patients. The treatment effect of hot compresses is very good. Hot compress can mainly increase the blood supply of the part, and hot compress can also promote the dissipation of inflammation. The therapeutic effect is relatively good. The clinical manifestations of most groups will be greatly improved after application. Of course, hot compress also has the actual effect of relieving pain and inflammation.

In general, surgical drainage for mastitis usually takes time to heal within a week. There are many treatments for mastitis, and you can choose physical therapy or conservative treatment. Many people have significant improvements after treatment. Mastitis patients also need to adjust their lifestyle. If the body secretes too much milk and the baby eats too much, you must massage vigorously or use a manual breast pump to drain the milk out of the body after feeding to avoid accumulation of milk. In order to prevent mastitis, pregnant women are advised to clean their nipples with warm water or massage their breasts.
