Acute mastitis, also known as lactational mastitis, occurs mostly in first-time mothers and is difficult to heal on its own. First of all, there is no such thing as self-healing acute mastitis. The first time a woman is inexperienced, she is especially prone to cracked nipples, and bacteria entering the mammary gland through the cracked nipples can lead to acute mastitis. If an abscess is formed before the early stage of abscess formation, medication can be chosen to control and treat the abscess, and if it deteriorates further, surgical treatment may be used to cut and drain the abscess to achieve a cure. Secondly, acute mastitis can also occur due to the failure to unclog the milk ducts and remove the depressed milk after breastfeeding, or inadvertently squeezing the breast, resulting in a lump of depressed milk, followed by bacterial infection over time. In the early stages of the disease, if the redness and pain are not obvious and the lumps are predominant, timely massage to unblock the milk ducts and dissipate the lumps can lead to rapid improvement. If it is not treated or treated in a timely manner and left to heal on its own, it will soon enter the abscess stage, and surgical drainage will be possible. The actual fact is that you will not be able to heal on your own. If you have acute mastitis, you should treat it promptly so as not to delay it and cause more serious consequences.
