What are the treatments for postpartum mastitis?

Breastfeeding mothers have already suffered from some breast diseases. Because the milk in their breasts is sufficient during breastfeeding, and they have not been able to dredge their breasts in time, mastitis gradually occurs. At this time, the baby needs to stop breastfeeding, because if mastitis is not treated in time, it will easily cause breast diseases. We need to use medication for treatment, so what is the treatment for postpartum mastitis?

What to do if you have mastitis during lactation

Breastfeeding mothers have more milk, and poor milk flow can easily lead to milk stagnation. In addition, when feeding the baby, the nipples are easily damaged, causing bacterial infection and mastitis. Mastitis is very harmful. If it is not treated in time or improperly, and if the disease is not controlled, it can easily worsen and bring other complications. What should you do when you find that you have mastitis, and how should you treat it? If you find that you have lactation mastitis, you should actively take the following treatments:

1. The early treatment of mastitis focuses on lactation, seizing the early favorable treatment opportunity and controlling the development of the disease. The treatment with traditional Chinese medicine generally focuses on soothing the liver and clearing heat, promoting lactation and reducing swelling. The method of massage to promote lactation is to use both hands to massage from the base of the breast, slowly squeezing and pushing towards the nipple. The degree of massage force should be based on the patient's tolerance. While massaging, you can gently pinch the nipple several times to expand the milk network in the nipple.

This method can promote smooth discharge of milk. Treatment of mastitis during lactation For chronic mastitis with a course of more than 6-10 days, intravenous penicillin-like drugs can be added for systemic anti-inflammatory treatment, which can usually be cured within 1-2 weeks.

2. The focus of mid-term tumor treatment is to dissipate the tumor and avoid suppuration and infection. Many patients lose the favorable opportunity for early cure and form inflammatory tumors, which are often related to early large-dose antibiotics...

I believe that all mothers have a certain understanding of the treatment of postpartum mastitis. In life, I suggest all young mothers to prevent their breasts from becoming serious. It is recommended that you excrete the milk in your breasts in time when you are not feeding your baby.
