What are the early symptoms of mastitis?

Nowadays, breast diseases can be said to be a problem that seriously affects women's breast health, and mastitis is one of them. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to timely detection and timely treatment measures. If you find any discomfort in the breast or nipple discharge, you must pay attention.

1. Patients with mastitis often do not take the early symptoms seriously or receive improper treatment, which causes the symptoms to worsen. Understand the early symptoms of mastitis so that you can seek medical treatment in time when you find symptoms of mastitis, and control the disease from getting worse early. If mastitis is not discovered and treated in time, it can easily lead to serious complications.

2. In the early stage of mastitis, there is no obvious lump in the affected breast, but there is often local discomfort. Sometimes you may feel mild pain and discomfort in one breast, or heaviness, soreness and discomfort in one shoulder or back, and even involvement of the upper arm on that side.

3. There may be nipple discharge. If the discharge is bloody or serous, you should pay special attention and go to the hospital for further examination.

4. Changes in the appearance of the breast. The skin may bulge at the site of the lump, and some local skin may appear orange peel-like, or even watery, discolored, or have eczema-like changes.

5. In the early stage of mastitis, a bean-sized lump can be felt by the breast doctor. It is hard and movable. Generally there is no obvious pain, and a few have paroxysmal dull pain, dull pain or stabbing pain.
