Patient's question:
Right breast has a noticeable lump, very painful to touch.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the condition you described is mastitis, which is generally caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection. Local application of magnesium sulfate can be used on the breast, while milk should be expressed to empty the breast. If there is an abscess, incision and drainage may be necessary. Postpartum mastitis not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge test at the gynecology department of the hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
