What is Mastitis: Management and Risk Factors about?

Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast that can be non-infective or infective. Non-infective mastitis involves symptoms like heat, redness and soreness from issues like blocked ducts. Infective mastitis is caused by a breast infection which if untreated can lead to an abscess. Risk factors include engorgement, poor attachment, and nipple trauma. Diagnosis involves history and examination. Treatment focuses on frequent breastfeeding or pumping, applying heat, and antibiotics if an infection is present.
