Breast abscess from breastfeeding

Common Questions and Answers about Breast abscess from breastfeeding

abscess

Avatar n tn Chronic recurrent subareolar breast abscess is an unfrequent disease of the breast. The surgeon must be acquainted with the syndrome, otherwise it may lead to unnecessary mutilation. The condition usually develops in younger women, but has no relation with lactation. Inverted nipples are a constant finding. The evolution is a chronical one, with acute exacerbations. Small abscesses rupture spontaneously or necessitate surgical drainage or disappear with antibiotics.
Avatar m tn Both mastitis (an infection and inflammation of the ducts of the breast) and breast abscess (a collection of pus located in a specific area) can result in nipple pain. These conditions are common in women who are breastfeeding. A rare type of cancer, known as Paget’s disease of the breast (also known as Paget's disease of the nipple, or simply Paget's disease), can result in inflammation and pain that is particularly localized to the nipple area.
Avatar m tn s just a hard mass), anyone else feel the same way? 2) Were any of you breastfeeding when this disease appeared on your breast/got diagnosed? 3) If so, did GM get better or worse after you weaned? and 4) How many of you are completely cured and if so, what did you do/take to get cured? Sorry for all the questions, but I just have so many that I want answered and no one (professionals) seem to know! Thanks for reading and replying!

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 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.

Avatar m tn This past year I've been dealing with a breast abscess. Apparently, it developed from scar tissue when I had mastitus a few years back. I've had 3 aspirations. The latest ultrasound indicated no improvement. The abscess was still the same size. Yesterday, I had a consult with a surgeon who tried taking a sample and no liquid came out. I'm very worried. Is it normal for an abscess to turn hard? I will be getting an additional ultrasound and mammogram before surgery is considered.
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 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 f tn Has anyone had to deal with mastitis and or breast abscess? I had my baby last week and I've either got mastitis or breast abscesses AGAIN /: i was trying to pump but i can't deal with the pain anymore yet I'm scared to stop >< did anyone give up or stop breastfeeding/pumping? What was your outcome?
Avatar f tn Hi there, I am pretty sure I am getting an abscess. I went to see my doc last week and he did an ultra scan and did not see any fluid behind the redness and slight lump. It is also not very painful, however, there is definitely a red lump and the skin is peeling on it. Underneath the skin it looks slightly white ish. What do you think? Do you think I need to back to my docs? Is there anything I can do to help it?
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with recurrent subareolar breast abscess in 1988, I have had 10 surgeries duct and tissue have been removed and tribes but into drain..this foe seven years I had no issues and then if was back again in the other breast. Had one surgery then and no more issues for that breast. However my last my other breast no so lucky. It has been three years and no relief....just got back from Dr. And he did say we could try surgery but from past experiences it caused more issues for me.
1702100 tn?1307227324 Last month my OBGYN sent me to have a mammogram, ultrasound and then the Radiologist suggested a biopsy. The results from the biopsy were that I have GM--on each breast. Now the OBGYN doesn't know where to send me next! She said maybe a Rheumatologist? I plan on reading through the questions already presented on here and perhaps these topics have already been addressed, but in the meantime I have a few questions. 1. Does seeing a Rheumatologist seem like the next, best step? 2.
Avatar m tn I know it may sound really strange but I am in so much pain from recurrent abscesses. The abscesses are usually on my leg or in my arm pit and under my breast. I had one in my rectum area too. I had been to the doctors so many times and put on dicloxicillin which seemed to help at the time, yet they still kept on recurring. i don't know what to do.......

Avatar f tn I have had a clear secretion from the left breast for some time now and this morning when putting on my bra I noticed a spot of blood in it, when I check to see if I had a sore or something, I found nothing. I thought maybe It was from the nipple when I squeezed the nipple it released some blood. Where do i go from here?
Avatar f tn Examples of benign conditions that can cause bloody nipple discharge include breast abscess, mastitis, tuberculosis, fibrocystic disease, and intraductal papilloma. Malignant conditions include breast carcinoma, sarcoma, and Paget’s disease of the nipple. Please do post the result of your MRI. Take care.
