What Is Mastitis?
Mastitis is a bacterial infection of breast tissue marked by localized pain, warmth, redness, and swelling, often accompanied by fever and flu-like symptoms. It can make breastfeeding extremely uncomfortable and, if left untreated, may progress to a breast abscess requiring more intensive care. With the right antibiotic treatment and ongoing support, most people recover fully within one to two weeks.

Frequently asked questions
Mastitis is a bacterial infection of breast tissue that causes pain, redness, warmth, and swelling. It is most common in breastfeeding women, typically in the first few weeks after delivery, but it can also occur in non-breastfeeding women and, rarely, in men.
Mastitis is most often caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria entering the breast through a cracked nipple or milk duct. Milk stasis, meaning milk that is not fully drained from the breast, also contributes by creating an environment where bacteria can multiply.
Common symptoms include a painful, firm, red, and warm area of the breast, swelling, fever above 101 degrees Fahrenheit, chills, body aches, and fatigue. The affected area may feel like a hard, wedge-shaped lump.
In most cases, yes. Continuing to breastfeed or pump regularly helps drain the affected breast and can actually speed recovery. Stopping suddenly can worsen milk stasis and increase the risk of abscess. Your provider can advise you based on your specific situation.
Untreated mastitis can progress to a breast abscess, which is a painful collection of pus that may require drainage by a healthcare provider. Seeking treatment promptly with antibiotics is the best way to prevent this complication.
Most people begin to feel better within 24 to 48 hours of starting antibiotics and fully recover within 10 to 14 days. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics even if symptoms improve earlier.
Doctronic uses an AI-guided evaluation to gather detailed information about your symptoms and health history. A licensed physician then reviews your case, confirms the assessment, and creates a personalized treatment plan, which may include a prescription when appropriate.
