Mastitis is a common disease among women in daily life. Among them, breastfeeding mothers are a high-risk group for mastitis. Women of all ages and breastfeeding mothers must take good care of their breasts. When suffering from mastitis, they should go to the hospital for examination in time and receive effective treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Of course, after suffering from mastitis, they should also adjust their diet. What is the cause of nipple pus discharge A major consideration is the presence of mastitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital to check the condition of your breast. It is also recommended that you seek acupuncture treatment to reduce inflammation. Mastitis symptoms 1. Breast swelling and pain Patients with mastitis usually experience symptoms such as breast swelling and breast pain in the early stages. When pressing the breast, you can feel the pain significantly increase, and you will also find lumps of varying sizes. 2. Nipple discharge If you are not in the postpartum breastfeeding period, but there is fluid leakage from the nipple, you should be alert to mastitis! When nipple discharge is accompanied by brown, bloody, yellow-green or dark red fluid, you should go to the hospital for further examination in time. 3. High fever and chills As mastitis continues to develop, mastitis patients may experience chills, high fever, and rapid pulse. In addition, the breasts are obviously swollen and painful, and the local skin is red and swollen. 4. Abscess If mastitis is not discovered or treated in time, the condition will become more serious, leading to necrosis, liquefaction and other infections of the breast tissue, thereby forming an abscess. In addition to slowly breaking outward, deep abscesses can also penetrate deep into the loose tissue between the breast and pectoral muscle, forming a retromammary abscess, which can ultimately lead to serious consequences. 5. Breast deformation If we have mastitis, we will find that the skin where there is a lump in the breast will bulge, and the local skin will appear orange peel-shaped, and there will be a series of changes such as edema, discoloration, eczema, etc. How to prevent mastitis 1. If you have breast engorgement, you can drink decoction of orange seeds to prevent milk stagnation. 2. After each feeding, the milk should be sucked out, either by hand or with a breast pump. 3. Pay attention to nipple hygiene. Clean and scrub the nipples with warm water before and after each breastfeeding, and keep the area clean and dry. 4. When the nipple is broken by the baby, it should be treated as soon as possible to prevent bacteria from invading and causing mastitis. 5. Since negative situations can cause milk accumulation in mothers, women should maintain a good mood during breastfeeding. 6. Try to wear loose clothes after giving birth to avoid squeezing your breasts. 7. Pay attention to nutrition, develop the habit of eating fungi, enhance the body's immune ability, and eat less spicy and irritating food. |
