How to squeeze out the pus in mastitis

In life, many women become mothers for the first time and have no experience in breastfeeding. If they do not operate properly during breastfeeding, milk accumulation will occur, which will lead to mastitis. Mastitis can be divided into subacute mastitis, suppurative mastitis and plasma cell mastitis according to different types. Among them, suppurative mastitis is in the middle and late stages of the disease development, also known as postpartum suppurative mastitis. So will suppurative mastitis get better after the pus is discharged?

The probability of women developing suppurative mastitis during breastfeeding is more than 40%. Most patients are mainly caused by milk accumulation and bacterial infection. Patients will always experience breast pain, high fever, and chills during the onset period. If the patient does not receive comprehensive treatment, it will cause chronic illness, long history of illness, and repeated episodes, making the patient miserable.

Will suppurative mastitis get better after the pus is discharged? Because many patients do not know much about suppurative mastitis, they have a misconception that the condition will be cured as long as the pus is squeezed out. In fact, suppurative mastitis is a very complicated disease. Draining the pus does not mean it is completely cured. There will be residual inflammation in the body. If it is not treated in many aspects, it will cause the disease to recur and new pus will appear. Patients are advised to undergo further treatment.

If patients want to completely prevent suppurative mastitis, they must find the right method. For patients in the early stages, they can be treated with medicines or Chinese herbal prescriptions. They can choose anti-inflammatory, analgesic and suppurative medicines. In addition, they can also combine massage therapy during the treatment period to promote blood circulation in the breast and help remove lumps.

From the above article, it can be seen that after the discharge of purulent mastitis, it does not mean that the disease is completely cured. Further treatment is needed, anti-inflammatory drugs should be used, and regular check-ups should be carried out in the hospital. In daily life, more knowledge about purulent mastitis should be learned to avoid falling into misunderstandings about treatment. In addition, it is best for patients to stop breastfeeding during the medication period to avoid side effects such as diarrhea in children.
