Breast inflammation primarily affects women during lactation. If oral medications are taken, it may impact breastfeeding. If left untreated, it can also cause significant distress in lactating women. Generally, at this stage, it is recommended to adopt external treatment methods using Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is because most traditional Chinese medicines are plant-derived and applied externally, posing no harm to the patient's internal body and ensuring that breastfeeding can continue.
