The best treatment for breast abscess

Breast abscesses usually require prompt medical attention, and sometimes drainage is required to reduce inflammation and the risk of infection.

This situation often occurs in breastfeeding women. Due to blockage of the breast duct or bacterial infection, local redness, swelling, heat and pain may occur, and even suppuration may form a pus cavity. If not treated in time, it may cause more pain or spread the infection. Common causes include improper breastfeeding posture and milk stasis.

For patients with mild symptoms, warm compresses and massage can be tried to promote milk discharge, and attention should be paid to keeping the breasts clean and nipple care after breastfeeding. If the symptoms are severe or the abscess cavity is large, the doctor usually needs to drain the pus through puncture or surgical incision, and cooperate with antibiotic treatment.

To prevent breast abscess, breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to the correct breastfeeding method, clean the breasts regularly, and avoid milk stasis. If persistent redness, swelling, heat and pain occur, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the guidance of a professional doctor for treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
