Doctor's answer:

Hello, such a situation needs to be differentiated based on specific circumstances. If it is confirmed to be mastitis, it is necessary to continue breastfeeding temporarily, use a breast pump to extract milk, and combine with anti-inflammatory treatment for safety. If it is not mastitis, it is usually milk stasis, and breastfeeding can be continued. The occurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease not only affects a woman's life but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a routine examination, identify the cause after the examination, and then treat accordingly. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness of the perineal skin in daily life.
