Acute mastitis often occurs in

Subacute mastitis is the most common type of mastitis during lactation, and it often occurs in breastfeeding mothers after giving birth, especially 3-4 weeks after giving birth. Subacute mastitis is a subacute suppurative infection of the breast, which is an inflammation of the connective tissue in and around the mammary ducts. Symptoms include breast swelling, lumps, and extreme pain. Although there are effective treatments for this disease, it causes pain after the onset of the disease, and the destruction of breast tissue causes breast deformation, which affects breastfeeding.

1. Subacute mastitis often occurs in

1. Subacute mastitis is common during breastfeeding, that is, it is most likely to occur in the first month or so of breastfeeding. The reason is that due to lack of hygiene during the confinement period or the baby's sucking, the nipples become cracked or ulcerated, which leads to the invasion of bacteria, or the high accumulation of milk leads to the invasion of bacteria, which causes breast infection.

2. Typical symptoms are swelling and pain in the breast, as well as some symptoms of fever and chills, and difficulty in milk discharge. If you suspect you have subacute mastitis, it is recommended that you go to the hospital immediately for a routine blood test. If the white blood cell count increases significantly or the fever is very obvious, some penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics can be used.

3. Develop good breastfeeding habits, drain the milk in time, pay attention to your own hygiene during the confinement period, and also pay attention to cleaning the baby's mouth and promptly treating nipple damage or ulcers.

2. Subacute breast inflammation during lactation

1. The early stage of subacute simple mastitis: breast pain, high skin temperature, tenderness, due to the blockage of milk, poor venous and lymph node flow, unclear lumps appear in the breast. If this link can be properly handled, the inflammation can subside.

2. Subacute suppurative mastitis: Part of the skin is red, swollen, hot and painful, with obvious lumps and increased tenderness. The patient has chills, high fever, headache, fatigue, lumps and other systemic food poisoning symptoms. The lymph nodes under the armpits in the same direction are swollen and painful.

3. Cyst development stage: Subacute mastitis is localized, that is, subacute breast cyst occurs. At this time, the lump feels fluctuating, and the superficial cyst fluctuates relatively significantly. The cyst can rupture outwards or inwards into the mammary duct, and discharge pus from the nipple. When the cyst ruptures the breast and moves to the loose tissue in front of the pectoralis major muscle, a retromammary cyst is formed. Breastfeeding should be strictly prohibited at this time.
