Mastitis is an inflammation of breast tissue, often occurring in breastfeeding women. It results from blocked milk ducts or bacterial infections, causing pain, swelling, warmth, and sometimes fever. To overcome mastitis, frequent breastfeeding or pumping is essential to clear blockages. Warm compresses, gentle breast massages, and adequate hydration also help. In more severe cases, antibiotics may be prescribed. Seeking early treatment is important to prevent complications and maintain breastfeeding.
