What are the treatments for mastitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I feel particularly uncomfortable in my breasts, and there are also hard lumps. What are the treatment methods for mastitis?

Doctor's answer:

You have developed mastitis, which can be caused by various factors such as skin infection from the nipple area, bacterial infection due to milk stasis after childbirth, etc. If there is discharge from the nipple, it cannot be ruled out that other conditions may be causing breast pain. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's breast surgery department for a thorough examination to identify the cause and receive additional treatment. Locally, you can apply cold compresses and massage the breast to improve blood circulation in the breast, alleviate pain, and receive antibiotic treatment for infection.
