How is plasma cell mastitis treated?

The breast is a very special part of a woman's body. However, the occurrence of various breast diseases in recent years has been shocking! Plasma cell mastitis is a very common breast disease. Its symptoms are not obvious at the beginning. There may be a slight lump in the breast, and it will hurt when pressed, so it is ignored by most women. However, in the later stage it will cause breast deformation, pus discharge, etc. Next, let’s take a look at how to treat plasma cell mastitis?

Plasma cell mastitis is a chronic nonbacterial inflammation of the breast. Due to the complex and changeable pathological characteristics, it has many names, such as "occlusive mastitis", "lactation mastitis", "chronic mastitis", "mammary duct ectasia", "acne-like mastitis", etc. Plasma cell mastitis mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly women, with the peak age being 50 to 60 years old. Most patients have inverted nipple deformity. Serous milk is different from general suppurative mastitis during lactation. Many people are not familiar with this disease and mistake it for a common bacterial infection or breast tuberculosis. The most frightening thing is that it is misdiagnosed as breast cancer and the breast is removed.

How to treat plasma cell mastitis

1. Anti-inflammatory treatment in the acute phase. Although most of the cases are not caused by bacteria, antibiotics and Chinese medicine can be used to clear away heat, detoxify, reduce swelling and resolve nodules. However, it is not advisable to use too much bitter and cold medicine. The more cold medicine you use, the slower the lump will go away.

2. In the chronic stage, use warm and hot medicine - Yanghe Decoction with modifications.

3. Choosing the best time for surgery is the most important.

The interictal period, that is, the wound healing period, is the best time for surgery, but some people think that why do they need surgery after the disease has healed? They wait until the disease becomes red, swollen, and ulcerated again, which delays it for a long time.

If the wound cannot heal, surgery should be performed when the acute inflammation subsides and the wound is at its most superficial. At this time, there is a possibility of infection after the surgery.

4. The key to a successful operation is to flip the areola, completely remove the lesions, and clean all wound surfaces.

5. The technical key to the operation is to maintain the perfect appearance and perform plastic surgery for nipple inversion.
