1. The correct steps for checking chronic mastitis: Start in a sitting position. Any inverted nipple, skin depression, or abnormal structure or shape are clues to cancer deep in the breast. The above signs will appear when you contract your chest muscles by clapping your hands above your head. The supraclavicular, infraclavicular, and axillary lymph nodes can be examined in a sitting position, and finally palpation is performed while sitting, using the fingers together to palpate the area beneath the nipple.

2. The correct steps for examining chronic mastitis are to lie on your back and palpate a wider area. Place a pillow under the ipsilateral breast and raise the ipsilateral hand above the head so that the breast is evenly spread on the chest wall so that the fingers can easily touch the deep breast cancer. Use the palm of the index, middle, and ring fingers instead of the fingertips for palpation. Palpation should be done in a circular motion. It is especially important to examine the breast extending into the armpit by rotating laterally from the nipple to the outside.

3. The correct steps for examining chronic mastitis. Breast examination should first observe the development of the breast, whether the breasts on both sides are symmetrical, whether they are similar in size, whether the nipples on both sides are at the same level, and whether the nipples are retracted. Check whether the nipple and areola are eroded, the color of the breast skin, whether there is edema and orange peel-like changes, whether there are inflammatory manifestations such as redness and swelling, whether the superficial veins in the breast area are dilated, etc.

After understanding the treatment methods of chronic mastitis, you can treat it according to your specific situation. However, if you want to improve your disease, women should also pay attention to their diet. Patients with chronic mastitis cannot eat greasy or spicy food, otherwise it will not help the treatment of the disease.
