Common Questions and Answers about Abscess after breastfeeding

abscess

Avatar m tn Hi ladies, I'm glad I found this group and other ladies that can relate to this rare condition. I am a new mom with a 10 month old baby and I'm currently breastfeeding. My GM story began in January when I noticed a lump on my right breast at about 10 o'clock. I thought it was a clogged duct since I had previously gotten one and was able to massage it away.
Avatar f tn m not breastfeeding. I had two rounds of antibiotics that resolved all symptoms, but I still have a large area of my breast that remains hard. It goes away almost completely with heat and massage, but ends up getting hard again. It's not as hard as before and it seems like it is a smaller area, but it's still a large area of the breast. My ultrasound only showed swollen tissue. How long until the hard area will resolve?
Avatar f tn she confirmed what u told me, it’s an infection(small abscess) gave me Antibiotics (Flucloxacillin) the lump went down after it’s was pop out 2 days ago.
Avatar m tn s problem Nipple pain can describe any discomfort in the nipple area and can result from mild physical surface abrasion from such activities as breastfeeding, engaging in physical activity (for example, exercise or jogging) without a bra, wearing a poorly fitted bra, or participating in any activity that produces friction on the skin of the breast.

Avatar n tn There are a lot of different views on this subject! I personally am 32 weeks pregnant with my 7th child (all born via cesarean delivery), my youngest son is 13 months, I still breastfeed him twice in a 24 hour period. Usually in the morning and before bed time. My first 8 weeks of this pregnancy, my son wasn't completely interested in feeding. Breast milk can tend to have a sour flavor the first few weeks. This taste generally tends to disappear around about 12+ weeks.
Avatar n tn Breast lump can be due to fibroadenoma of breast (benign condition) or due to an abscess, or a galatocele or milk filled lump in breastfeeding ladies, or it can also be a lipoma. It is important to show this lump to a doctor and get a mammography. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.
Avatar n tn I started on keflex and scheduled a root canal ASAP. After the root canal and finishing the keflex the abscess was still there. My endontist downplayed it like it's no big deal but he drained the abcess and put me on clymdamycin. Finished all the clymdamycin and the abscess is still there. Endontist says it could take months to heal and sent me on my way. I feel like I need a second opinion. I still have a pea sized abscess on my gums idk what to do.
Avatar f tn It almost feels like mastitis, which I have had before from previous breastfeeding, but my daughter is now 15 months old, and I stopped breastfeeding her a year and 2 months ago. I am just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and what it might be. It is a shocking fast moving burning/stinging sensation that stops me in my tracks every time, and makes me afraid to move until it starts to go away. Right now its been constant for an hour at least, the burning pain, but not too bad.
4628530 tn?1369109086 I thought maybe it would help all the pus come out once and for all. Then yesterday I had an abscess come open near my areola. Now it is impossible to breastfeed on that side or pump because very little milk is being produced and because blood comes out. I believe it is possible to breastfeed with GM, as long as there aren't any open abscesses near the areola.I spoke to a lactation consultant, and now I have to decide whether I should continue to breastfeed on the left, healthy breast.
Avatar n tn It is itchy but not constantly The other spots have not started to form the abscess like lesion that got me nervous in the first place, but I don’t want it to get to that if I co to use to ignore it like I did the first one for so long. Might it be Paget’s disease? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I had an abscess in my right breast 10 years ago and it left a little lump after it healed. Two weeks ago I developed an abscess in the same spot. My GP recommended a week of antibiotics (Augmentin) and it started to drain on its own two days back. I feel a thickened area which hasn't gone down. Should I be worried? The abscess continues to drain slowly and I have covered it with sterilized gauze. Please help.
Avatar n tn In Nov 2008, I had a swelling below my right breast which was diagnosed as "Abscess". It would ooze out puss with blood and was very painful. After healing,a scar developed around that spot and A FOUL SMELL THAT OF PUS actually emanates from that area(i.e when you touch the area surrounding the scar) What could be happening inside?
Avatar f tn I have a recurring abscess on my right breast for almost 2 years now. I remember that I have a "white head/black head" on my chest so I picked it and removed it and I think it's where it all started. The abscess I got on the first spot on my breast lasted for 9 months (I had maybe 4 recurrence) but it healed on its own without taking any antibiotics or creams.
Avatar f tn The trauma will not cause an abscess but at this point the ulcer should be healing. If it has not I would certainly have your dentist look at it.
Avatar f tn make sure your razor is clean. I also use witch hazel under my arms after I shave before I put on deoderant. If you need relief, use a hot towel to bring it to a head. Then burn tha tip of a safety pin or a needle and stick it in that middle. You will need assistance because it hurts like hell. Then SQUEEEEEEEEZE it til you can't squeeze it anymore.

Avatar m tn I have fairly white healthy teeth, but I have an abscess behind my tooth, how can I get rid of it, or sooth the pain.
1629677 tn?1299655604 I had a wisdom tooth pulled and the night I had it pulled my cheeck was the size of a tennis ball, I went to the ER 3 days later and they said I had an abscess, im on antibiotics and I want to know if that will take the swelling away and if thats all I have to do or will I have to get it drained?
Avatar f tn I had to page my dentist the day after Christmas and she called in a prescription for antibiotics and main meds for me. If not your dentist, then a doctor should be able to do the same for you. Or go to an emergency room or urgent care. In the mean time, ice water in your mouth can help. Rinse with salt water or hydrogen peroxide mixed with water. And take vitamin C. Drink lots of fluids, and ibuprofen is probably the best thing for the pain and swelling.
6388161 tn?1380846457 Yesterday i went back to the emergency room and the abscess was lanced but nothing came again but blood. It is so hard and large the doctor said it was urated i dont know the exact word but it needs to be surgically removed. So has anyone had abscess in the below the vagina are surgically removed? If so did you have to stay overnight in the hospital? Was their a lot of pain afterward?
