TCM's external treatment of internal diseases

Eight methods to treat mastitis: Mastitis is a common clinical disease, especially common in women during lactation. Generally speaking, if you have mastitis and the symptoms are not very serious, you can continue breastfeeding, but if they are serious, you should stop breastfeeding. To treat mastitis, start by cleaning the breasts.

At the same time, the combination of the eight methods will achieve good therapeutic effects.

Pay attention to cleanliness: pay attention to rest in the early stage, stop breastfeeding, clean the nipples and areola, promote milk discharge (using a breast pump or sucking), and stop breastfeeding if incision and drainage are required. This is the first prerequisite for treating mastitis.

Use milk-reducing medicine: Stop breastfeeding on the affected side and use a breast pump to express milk. Appropriate use of lactation-reducing drugs can be used, such as oral administration of diethylstilbestrol 1 mg once, 3 times a day, or bromocriptine 2.5 mg once, 3 times a day.

Antibiotics: Systemic antibiotics. To prevent and treat severe infection and sepsis, antibiotics are selected based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity, and intravenous antibiotics are given when necessary.

Hot compress: Apply local hot compress, or wash 60 grams each of fresh dandelion and honeysuckle leaves, add a little vinegar or wine, and mash them for external application. Support your breasts with wide bands or a bra.

Blockage: 60-80 ml of 0.25% procaine for breast blockade can reduce inflammation. Choose broad-spectrum antibiotics orally or intravenously. One million units of penicillin can be dissolved in 20 ml of normal saline and injected around the inflammatory mass.

Drainage: If an abscess has formed, it should be incised and drained. The incision should be radial to the nipple, avoiding the areola. For retromammary abscess or deep abscess under the breast, an arc-shaped incision can be made at the sternotomy fold under the breast.

Combining the eight methods of treating mastitis, patients should maintain a good attitude and take a two-pronged approach, and the treatment effect will be better.
