How to treat non-lactation mastitis lumps?

In the case of non-lactation mastitis lump type, the patient will gradually develop breast lumps, which are generally not as rapid as the onset of acute breast abscesses. Therefore, the skin will not become red, swollen, hot or painful, and may experience slight pain or even no pain.

There is no need to incise the abscess for acute drainage in treatment. Generally, for the mass type of non-lactation mastitis, it is only necessary to control the local inflammation. If a central abscess is formed, the condition can be controlled by removing the inflammation and dilating the surrounding ducts.

But in any case, I hope that patients can go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Don’t think that you can just endure it and it will pass.
