Patient's question:
My friend has already weaned her baby for a year, but she has a problem with her nipples. She noticed that there was blood and pus oozing from them. After a thorough examination, it was found to be dilated breast ducts, likely ductitis. Can this condition be completely cured? Can it be eradicated? How long does it usually take to treat?The kind of help needed: What should I do if the breast ducts are inflamed?
Doctor's answer:
Mastitis generally requires the use of drugs in combination with treatment, as it is caused by inflammation. It is characterized by breast discharge, usually purulent discharge, and is often associated with ductal ectasia or plasma cell mastitis. It is recommended that you undergo relevant and thorough examinations to identify the underlying causes. Once the cause is confirmed, appropriate medication or surgical treatment can be administered to prevent recurrence. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if my breast duct is inflamed?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
