What are the causes of mastitis?

Most cases of mastitis occur during the lactation period, especially when the breasts of women become swollen and the milk cannot be discharged in time, resulting in milk compression and mastitis. Generally speaking, it will cause pain and swelling, or even pain caused by local pressure. Perhaps you don’t know the causes of mastitis. In the following article, the editor will introduce it to you in detail.

The most common causes of mastitis are: missed or shortened feeding times, prolonged pressure on the breasts, and incorrect breastfeeding posture and latching method. Delaying or reducing the time you breastfeed your baby can cause the breasts to become too full and increase the risk of mastitis.

Another cause of mastitis is long-term pressure on the breasts, which is another cause of blocked milk ducts and mastitis. Prolonged pressure anywhere on the breast can restrict milk flow and cause inflammation. Possible causes include: a bra that is too tight or not supportive enough, or any sling that puts pressure on the breasts, heavy breast pads or shields that make the bra too tight, the baby lying on the mother's chest to rest, pressure on the breasts during feeding, etc.

The above is an introduction to the causes of mastitis. Through the above article, everyone should understand the causes of mastitis. I hope you can overcome the above problems and do more to prevent mastitis. If you find symptoms of mastitis, please go to a regular hospital for treatment and don’t seek medical treatment randomly.

After reading the above article, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the causes of mastitis. It is recommended that you do not compress the breasts for a long time. You can go to bed without wearing bras to prevent your breasts from being unable to relax due to the pressure of the bras.
