What is Mastitis?
Mastitis is an inflammation of breast tissue, most commonly seen in breastfeeding women, caused by a blocked milk duct or a bacterial infection. It often leads to swelling, redness, warmth, and pain in the affected breast, sometimes accompanied by fever and fatigue. This condition can make breastfeeding uncomfortable, but continuing to nurse or express milk usually helps in recovery. Early treatment with rest, fluids, and sometimes antibiotics can prevent complications and promote faster healing.
Symptoms of Mastitis
Breast pain or tenderness – Usually localized to one area, making the breast sore to touch.
Swelling – The affected breast may appear enlarged or puffy.
Redness – Often in a wedge-shaped area, indicating inflammation.
Warmth – The skin over the breast may feel noticeably warmer than usual.
Fever and chills – Signs that the body is fighting infection.
Fatigue – A general feeling of tiredness or low energy.
Lump or firm area – Caused by a blocked milk duct or swelling.
Burning sensation during breastfeeding – Discomfort that worsens while nursing.
Cracked or sore nipples – Often from breastfeeding, which can allow bacteria to enter.
Causes of Mastitis
Here are some causes of mastitis:
Blocked milk duct – Milk not draining properly can cause a build-up, leading to inflammation.
Bacterial infection – Germs entering through a cracked or sore nipple can infect breast tissue.
Incomplete breast emptying – Skipping feeds or not fully draining the breast increases risk.
Engorgement – Excess milk build-up stretches breast tissue, causing pressure and swelling.
Poor latch during breastfeeding – Prevents efficient milk removal, leading to blockages.
Wearing tight bras or clothing – Restricts milk flow and increases the chance of duct blockage.
Stress and fatigue – Can lower immunity, making infection more likely.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Can I continue breastfeeding if I have mastitis?
Yes, and it’s often encouraged. Continuing to breastfeed or express milk helps clear blockages and speed up recovery.
Does mastitis always require antibiotics?
Not always—mild cases may resolve with home care, but bacterial infections often need antibiotics prescribed by a doctor.
Is it safe to use pain relief medication for mastitis?
Yes, paracetamol or ibuprofen can help manage pain and fever, but always check with your doctor, especially while breastfeeding.
Are there any signs that mastitis is getting worse?
Persistent high fever, spreading redness, or pus-like discharge from the nipple may indicate worsening infection or abscess.
