How to treat granulomatous mastitis

Treatments for granulomatitis include medication, surgical intervention, and lifestyle adjustments. The specific plan needs to be determined based on the severity of the disease and the individual circumstances of the patient. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

1. Drug treatment

Patients with mild to moderate granulomatitis usually prefer drug treatment, which is especially effective in the early stages.

1. Antibiotics: Use anti-inflammatory drugs to control infection. Common drugs include amoxicillin clavulanate potassium or cephalosporin antibiotics.

2 Glucocorticoids: For granulomatitis with obvious inflammation and autoimmunity, hormonal drugs such as prednisone can reduce the inflammatory response.

3. Anti-tuberculosis drugs: If it is suspected to be related to tuberculosis infection, isoniazid, rifampicin and other anti-tuberculosis drugs can be used in combination. It is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions and it is strictly forbidden to take the medicine without authorization.

2. Surgical treatment

Surgery is mainly suitable for patients with abscesses, fistulas, and those who are not responsive to drug treatment.

1. Abscess incision and drainage: Drain the abscess through minor surgery to relieve local infection.

2. Lesion resection: remove infected and necrotic breast tissue while preserving normal tissue to avoid recurrence of symptoms.

3. Partial mastectomy: For patients with larger lesions, partial mastectomy may be required to achieve better treatment effects.

3. Lifestyle Adjustment

1. Dietary adjustment: Reduce spicy, greasy and other irritating foods, and eat more light foods rich in vitamins, such as green vegetables, whole grains, fish, etc.

2. Rest and psychological adjustment: avoid fatigue, improve immunity, maintain a happy mood, and reduce the risk of recurrence of the disease.

The treatment of granulomatitis requires comprehensive consideration of the specific cause and progression of the disease, and should never be delayed. Patients are advised to choose a treatment plan that suits them under the guidance of a professional doctor, and to have regular follow-up visits to track the progression of the disease.
