Symptoms of non-lactation mastitis recovery

The recovery symptoms of non-lactation mastitis usually include reduced local pain, reduced redness and swelling, reduced tenderness, gradual softening and shrinkage of lumps, and improved physical fatigue. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid complications. During the recovery period, recovery can be promoted through lifestyle adjustments and drug-assisted treatment.

1. Common symptoms and causes during the recovery period

Non-lactation mastitis is mostly caused by blocked or infected mammary ducts. During the recovery period, as the inflammation is controlled, blood circulation in the swollen area gradually recovers, the redness and swelling are reduced, and the local lumps gradually shrink or disappear. At the same time, the pain will also be relieved as the inflammation dissipates. The recovery of chronic non-lactation mastitis may take a long time, and some patients may still feel slight tenderness or discomfort. If the symptoms recur during the recovery period and the lumps persist and do not disappear, you need to be alert to whether it is caused by other breast diseases such as breast cysts or breast cancer.

2. Measures to improve and promote recovery

1. Drug treatment: Use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen under the guidance of a doctor to relieve pain and inflammation, or use antibiotics such as cephalosporins according to the infection. Oral or intravenous medication may be required for stubborn infections.

2 Hot compress and gentle massage: Hot compress can promote local blood circulation and accelerate the absorption of lumps, but excessive massage should be avoided to prevent aggravating inflammation.

3. Reasonable diet: A high-protein, vitamin-rich diet such as fish, eggs, and green leafy vegetables can help enhance immunity and provide the body with the energy it needs to repair itself. Avoid too much greasy food or irritating seasonings.

3. Precautions during recovery and prevention of relapse

During the recovery period of non-lactating mastitis, care should be taken to avoid emotional anxiety, pressure on the breast area, and the adverse effects of tight underwear. In addition, maintaining a good milk discharge function, even if not breastfeeding, regulating blocked breast ducts and regular breast health examinations are of great significance in preventing the recurrence of mastitis. For symptoms that have not been completely eliminated for a long time, breast B-ultrasound or mammography should be considered to rule out malignant lesions.

The recovery of non-lactation mastitis requires time. Early and correct treatment and care can help avoid sequelae or complications. Once the symptoms recover slowly or are atypical, do not ignore it. It is recommended to return for a follow-up visit in time to clarify the true condition of breast health.
