How to tell if mastitis is festering?

Mastitis is a disease that mainly occurs after lactation or during pregnancy. There are many classifications of mastitis, such as simple mastitis, suppurative mastitis, and abscess mastitis. However, often some symptoms will show its severity. So how can you tell whether mastitis is suppurative?

In order to determine whether mastitis is purulent, we must first understand the symptoms of the three types of mastitis. Let me first briefly talk about sudden simple mastitis. The main symptoms are obvious swelling and pain in the breast, and many inexplicable small lumps appearing in the breast. This is acute mastitis.

Then suppurative mastitis will cause obvious redness, swelling and lumps around the breast. Patients with severe suppurative mastitis may also experience generalized muscle weakness, persistent high fever and symptoms similar to poisoning. At this time, patients with mastitis are advised to go to the hospital for drainage to draw out the pus.

After reading the above two types of mastitis symptoms, we can now determine what happens after mastitis becomes purulent. If the breasts suddenly become red and swollen, the high fever persists, and the lumps around the breasts have become soft. This means that the tumor has become purulent. At this time, mastitis has evolved into suppurative mastitis.
