What is the reason for less milk after mastitis?

Most mastitis is caused by bacterial infection caused by milk accumulation and nipple damage. Generally speaking, there is less milk after mastitis, and a breast pump can be used to drain the milk. Since the effective drainage of milk is conducive to infection control, surgical treatment should be chosen unless there is a serious infection or even milk fistula to ensure smooth milk discharge when necessary. Antibiotics are generally selected for mastitis, most of which are anti-enzyme penicillins or cephalosporin drugs, and anti-anaerobic treatment such as metronidazole should be used if abscesses are formed.
