Frequently asked questions
Mastitis is a bacterial infection of the breast tissue that can occur during breastfeeding. It causes redness, warmth, swelling, and pain in the breast, often accompanied by fever. Treatment typically involves a course of antibiotics such as cefuroxime, continued breastfeeding or pumping to keep milk flowing, rest, and warm compresses. Most cases resolve fully with prompt treatment.
Low milk supply can result from infrequent feeding or pumping, poor latch, hormonal imbalances, stress, dehydration, certain medications, or underlying medical conditions. A physician can help identify contributing factors and recommend appropriate interventions, which may include galactagogues, feeding technique adjustments, or supportive supplements.
Many galactagogues, substances that support milk production, have been used during breastfeeding for many years. Herbal options like fenugreek are widely used, while prescription medications such as metoclopramide or domperidone are reserved for cases where other measures have not worked. Your physician will weigh the benefits and any potential risks based on your specific health history before recommending any medication.
Yes, in most cases continuing to breastfeed or pump from the affected breast is encouraged when you have mastitis. Keeping milk flowing helps prevent the infection from worsening or developing into an abscess. The antibiotics most commonly used for mastitis are considered safe for breastfeeding infants.
Plugged ducts can often be prevented by feeding or pumping frequently, ensuring a good latch, varying nursing positions to drain different areas of the breast, staying well hydrated, and wearing a properly fitting bra that does not compress breast tissue. Warm compresses and gentle massage over the area can help resolve a plug before it becomes more problematic.
The duration of treatment depends on the underlying issue. A course of antibiotics for mastitis generally lasts 10 to 14 days. Galactagogue use is typically evaluated over several weeks to assess effectiveness. Your physician will guide you on how long to continue any prescribed or recommended treatment and when to follow up.
Doctronic uses an AI-powered evaluation to gather detailed information about your symptoms and health history. A licensed physician then reviews your case, makes a clinical assessment, and creates a personalized treatment plan.
