Acute mastitis is an infection of the breast caused by the invasion of bacteria into the breast and milk duct tissue. It occurs in postpartum lactating women, especially in primiparous women. The onset of the disease is usually 3-4 weeks after delivery, and is often caused by the invasion of bacteria when the baby sucks the nipple during breastfeeding, as well as by the accumulation of milk due to poor drainage and the multiplication of bacteria. Initially, simple (cicatricial) inflammation of the breast can be caused by the irritation of the tissues by the accumulated milk, and bacterial invasion can lead to severe cellulitis of the breast, leading to the formation of a breast abscess, often with tissue necrosis and tissue breakdown, forming several small abscesses or one large abscess. In Chinese medicine, acute mastitis is called “blowing breast” and “jealousy of breast”, while the formation of abscess is called “canker sore”. It is believed that the onset of acute mastitis is mostly caused by a broken nipple, the invasion of external evil and fire into the breast, or emotional and emotional disharmony, liver qi stagnation, or poor diet and stomach heat congestion, resulting in obstruction of the veins and channels, qi stagnation and blood clotting, milk stagnation, and damp heat and toxicity. Acute mastitis is characterized by localized redness, swelling, heat, pain, palpable hard lumps, swollen and painful axillary lymph nodes, general malaise, chills and fever, and a marked increase in white blood cell count. If the inflammation continues to develop, the fever does not subside, there is continuous local throbbing pain and abscess formation. After about 10 d, if the pus breaks out, the fever usually subsides and the swelling subsides and gradually heals, but if the pus flow is not smooth, the swelling is painful, the high fever persists, and the lesion expands and can spread to other glandular lobes. If the abscess breaks down and forms a fistula, it often does not heal for a long time. In severe cases of hyperthermia, sepsis can be a complication. Treatment Acute mastitis should be treated by clearing the lacteal channels and draining the heat and toxins, and by clearing the stomach and dispersing the knots and relieving the depression in the liver, mainly by taking Yangming and Hu Yin meridian points.
