Lactation Mastitis

📋Overview

Lactation Mastitis involves the inflammation of breast tissue, which may be accompanied by an infection. This condition often results from milk stasis, where milk remains in the breast for an extended period, or from bacteria entering the breast through a break in the skin.

Clinical presentation frequently includes localized symptoms such as breast pain, swelling, and redness. Some individuals may also experience systemic symptoms similar to those of the flu as the inflammatory response progresses.
