Avatar f tn I'm 32 and breastfeeding and being treated for mastitis without the Nurse Practioner ever looking at my breast. I had mastitis several times with my daughter and never once did I have the dimpling; I also always had a 101 fever with my mastitis. This started as a pea sized lump and I emailed the doctor's office. The nurse said it was likely a clogged duct, massage it. Now a little over a week later it's a half dollar size flat lump under my areola.

Avatar n tn Dicloxacillin is a poor choice for any STD. It has no effect against chlamydia or the other bacteria that cause cervicitis in women and NGU in men, and borderline efficacy at best against gonorrhea and syphilis. The alternative to doxycycline is azithromycin 1.0 g orally in a single dose, which is safe and effective in pregnancy. If gonorrhea is a concern, then it's azithromycin plus a cephalosporin antibiotic, such cefixime or cefpodoxime; or a 2.0 g dose of azithromycin.
Avatar n tn Terminology Popular usage of the term mastitis varies by geographic region. Outside the US it is commonly used for puerperal and nonpuerperal cases, in the US the term nonpuerperal mastitis is rarely used and alternative names such as duct ectasia, SUBAREOLAR ABSCESS and plasma cell mastitis are more frequently used. Chronic cystic mastitis is a different (older) name for fibrocystic disease.
Avatar f tn So i was deciding not to BF any more but i wasnt sure when would be a good time, since i have mastitis and the medication that im on the ER dr told me to pump and dump for the next 10 days, so i figured this would be a good time to stop BF. My question is does the mastitis go away from the antibiotics or do i need to pump, I was hopn by me not pumping my supply would dry up and the mastitis would clear up from the antibiotics.
Avatar f tn Mastitis is often a long road to recovery ..... 2 months is really no time at all when you're dealing with mastitis. I see no reason for an invasive procedure to remove the lump since you biopsies have resulted in benign findings. I can assure you that you may need to be on med.s for a few months more to conquer the mastitis.

Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis just a month ago. I had a normal mammogram back in Sept.2010, in early April my left breast was sore (but I didn't think much of it because I exercise), then one day my left nipple was inverted (which is abnormal for me), and that's when I felt a hard mass. I had a biopsy with ultrasound, later biopsy to get samples, then an excisional biospy 3 days ago. I'm in no pain, feel great which is so weird about all this.
Avatar f tn I have been terrified lately that I have gotten mastitis from my boyfriend sucking on my nipple? It 's been a little over a week and it is very possible I am making the symptoms up in my head, but my left breast had begun to feel tender me a day after he sucked on it. It was only for about thirty seconds and then he stopped and then did it again. There was no blood, discharge, etc. Knock on wood I don't have a fever or feel ill, and there is no redness or lumps on my breast.
9038886 tn?1402125726 I had mastitis with my first, omg so painful. I feel for you. ♡ ♡ ♡ I took very very hot showers and massaged my breats in the shower. Don't be alarmed when it squirts! Cabbage leaves can decrease your milk supply. I say anything warm to break up those clogged ducts. Did they say if you had puss at all? I had a 104° fever, the chills, I couldn't stop shaking, I also fainted, my breast was red and very swollen. I had no clue what I had. I hope you feel better soon! ♡ hugs!
Avatar f tn Hi try taking probiotics as it reduces discomfort associated with breast pain and mastitis and reduce the recurrence of mastitis.
Avatar f tn Anyone had mastitis b4? what were your symptoms. My right breast hurts around the areola and nipple area, also my nipple sorta went flat and wont erect, it also feels like fluid is around the areola area. Going to see lactation consultant today to see whats going on.
Avatar f tn Your post is a really good one, because it sounded so much like mastitis, and for it to actually be IBC (Inflammatory breast cancer), it just goes to show you need to always get it checked out asap. Good luck with your treatments and keep in touch.
Avatar f tn I am a breastfeeding mom of a 7-month-old baby boy. In my 7 months of breastfeeding my baby, I went to the doctor twice because my breasts became tender and whenever breast milk comes out, my breast felt sore. The first time I went to the doctor, she gave me antibiotics and my breasts became normal. 2 weeks ago, I felt that my breast is painful again. I went to the doctor and gave me antibiotics again. And now, I feel it again. I can also feel some lumps and my right boob is painful again.

Avatar f tn My son is 4 days old and breastfeeding. I'm a nervous wreck about possibly getting mastitis. My left breast is harder than my right one. I'm not sure how you get this. Are there ways of preventing it? And is it even too soon to get it?
