Mastitis is inflammation of the breast or udder, usually associated with breastfeeding.[1][5][6] Symptoms typically include local pain and redness.[1] There is often an associated fever and general soreness.[1] Onset is typically fairly rapid and usually occurs within the first few months of delivery.[1] Complications can include abscess formation.[2]
Risk factors include poor latch, cracked nipples, use of a breast pump, and weaning.[1] The bacteria most commonly involved are Staphylococcus and Streptococci.[1] Diagnosis is typically based on symptoms.[2] Ultrasound may be useful for detecting a potential abscess.[1]
Prevention of this breastfeeding difficulty is by proper breastfeeding techniques.[2] When infection is present, antibiotics such as cephalexin may be recommended.[2] Breastfeeding should typically be continued, as emptying the breast is important for healing.[2][1] Tentative evidence supports benefits from probiotics.[1] About 10% of breastfeeding women are affected.[2]
