Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast tissue. Due to the different rates of development of mastitis, different processes of inflammation, and differences in personal constitution, the speed of treatment, treatment modalities and treatment effects vary and should be treated effectively according to the actual situation. However, no matter what type of treatment is given, it is not instantaneous and requires a certain amount of time to achieve results. The treatment of lactating mastitis and non-lactating mastitis is classified as follows: 1. Lactating mastitis: The initial inflammation is characterized by an increase in the size of one breast and the appearance of a lump, with the development of symptoms such as redness and swelling. This is the time to use penicillin, cefaladin and other drugs for treatment, in order to avoid breastfeeding after taking the drug on the baby reaction, should avoid taking sulfonamides and quinolones. At the same time, the treatment can be supplemented with hot compresses or sucking out the milk to prevent milk stagnation. If an abscess has developed over the course of the disease, it is treated surgically, either by incision and drainage of the abscess or by minimally invasive surgical drainage, and breastfeeding is not allowed during surgery. 2. Non-lactating mastitis: Non-lactating mastitis is most often chronic and non-bacterial, usually related to autoimmunity. In the acute phase, antibiotics are used to eliminate the inflammatory response, and some patients may be prescribed steroids to control the lesion and shrink the lesion tissue according to their condition. Surgical treatment is required when the inflammatory process is controlled and the mass is stable; incision and drainage are prone to recurrence and complete excision of the lesion is usually required. The perioperative period can be treated with TCM group prescriptions that can assist in reducing the recurrence rate of inflammation. Regardless of the type of mastitis, timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment should be undertaken to avoid complications such as sepsis from further infection after the formation of a mastitis abscess.
