Interestingly, and how to treat mastitis

At the initial stage of mastitis, microbes multiply in those areas of the breast, from which the outflow of milk is difficult. Therefore, nursing mother at the first signs of the appearance of mastitis should be abandoned for a while from breastfeeding. But it is necessary to continue expressing the milk, until the infiltrates are completely softened. Thus, treatment is carried out, and breast-feeding is preserved.

Microorganisms will leave the woman's body along with breast milk. That is why it is undesirable to continue feeding the baby these days. But, in no case, you should not confuse mastitis with the lactostasis of a nursing mother. Expressing perfectly solves the problem with the localization of inflammation in the upper chest, closer to the axillary region.

With the infiltrative stage of mastitis, the state of health worsens, pain, swelling and redness of the chest are disturbed. The inflammatory process is rapidly progressing, therefore it is necessary to correctly treat mastitis in women as soon as possible. And without antibiotics can not do. For a week the child is transferred to artificial feeding, and the woman begins to intensively take antibacterial therapy. The appointment of medicines makes the doctor, self-medicate in this situation is not just pointless, but also dangerous.

In case of improper treatment, a decrease in the immunity of a woman after childbirth, the inflammatory process can go into a purulent one, which will require urgent measures, detoxification therapy, and possibly surgical intervention. The doctor already makes a choice and decides whether purulent mastitis is treated as a conservative or surgical method.

When localizing infiltrates in the lower parts of the chest, in areas under the nipple, doctors are often recommended to abandon breastfeeding altogether. Since it is often ineffective in this case, there is no improvement in the state of health even when taking antibiotics. And to treat mastitis of a breast all the same it is necessary, and it is urgent.

When purulent mastitis is often resorted to a surgical operation, uncover a purulent infiltrate, put drainage, and in the future conduct medical treatment and physiotherapy procedures.

In spite of this, mastitis in men develops extremely rarely and is treated with conservative methods, doctors sometimes solve a complex problem, and in men it mastitis how to treat, especially when implanting a breast prosthesis. After all, in such situations, a decrease in immunity and hormonal disorders further worsen the patient's health.

Older women develop non-lactational mastitis. Most often, the reason lies in the sharp change in climate, after a trip to the resort. Hormonal restructuring of the woman's body, trauma to the breast tissue leads to fatty necrosis of the areas of the breast, and then to mastitis. The difficulty for doctors is the question, and how does one treat non-lactational mastitis in women over forty? And in the case of surgical intervention and excision of the abscess in the breast, is it always necessary to take a tissue biopsy?

The same disease, but in different situations, people of different ages and sex can vary. The insidiousness of mastitis lies in the fact that the process quickly spreads even against the background of ongoing treatment and can lead to serious consequences. Do not waste time on the use of folk recipes.

Mastitis should be treated by a doctor, and the earlier, the better for the patient. Therefore, to think about, mastitis how to treat, or not to treat, is never worth it. Each delayed day without treatment for a person only increases the risk of complications that lead to poor health. A mastitis of a nursing mother is dangerous for the health of the baby.
