Mastitis fever

Mothers who are breastfeeding are immersed in the joy of the baby's arrival, but women at this time are also very vulnerable and mastitis often occurs to them. Some mothers do not pay attention to breastfeeding, which may even affect their children's physical health, and they regret it. Some mothers do not take it seriously and blindly use medication, which delays the treatment opportunity.

So what kind of disease is mastitis? When does mastitis occur most often? What reactions will mastitis cause in the body? What should I do if I have a fever during mastitis? Many breastfeeding mothers have a lot of questions when they encounter this situation.

Mastitis refers to an acute suppurative infection of the breast. It is a common disease in the postpartum period and one of the causes of postpartum fever. It is most common in lactating women, especially primiparas. 1. Milk stasis is likely to lead to the reproduction and growth of invading bacteria. The main causes of milk stasis are poor nipple development (too small or inverted), which hinders breastfeeding. Excessive milk secretion or insufficient milk sucking by the baby, incorrect breastfeeding posture, and blocked mammary ducts can also cause milk stasis. This can cause breast inflammation and lead to mastitis fever. 2. Bacteria may also often invade through damaged and cracked nipples, and invasion along the lymphatic vessels is the main route of infection. When women find symptoms of mastitis and fever, they should not take medication blindly to avoid affecting the child. They should go to a regular professional hospital for treatment. After suffering from mastitis, it is necessary to control it as soon as possible to prevent it from developing into suppuration. This will not only reduce the pain of the nursing mother, but also ensure the feeding of the baby.

From the above introduction, we can understand that mastitis is a disease that is very common during the postpartum period. It usually causes fever. What should be taken seriously is that mothers cannot breastfeed their children during mastitis. Mothers who understand this knowledge will not let their children suffer together with adults due to lack of common sense, nor will they be at a loss as to what to do.
