*[[abscess]]
*[[Milk]] [[stasis]]
Abscess is the most severe complication that women can get from this condition. Also, women who have had mastitis once are likely to develop it again with a future child or with the same infant. Recurrence appears especially in cases of delayed or inadequate treatment.
*[[Breast]] [[Abscess]]
:*[[Abscess]] is the most severe complication that women can get from this condition.


Delayed or inadequate treatment, especially in mastitis related to milk [[stasis]], may lead to the formation of an abscess within the breast tissue. An abscess is a collection of [[pus]] that develops into the breast which ultimately requires surgical drainage.

Overview

If left untreated, up to 11% of patients with puerperal mastitis may progress to develop a breast abscess.[1] Complications that may arise from mastitis include: recurrence, milk stasis and abscess formation. The prognosis is usually good and mastitis clears quickly with antibiotic therapy. 73% of smokers diagnosed with mastitis[2] have the worst prognosis, especially those with non-puerperal mastitis, and have a higher rate of recurrence of breast abscesses.

Natural history, complications, and prognosis

Natural history

If left untreated, up to 11% of patients with puerperal mastitis may progress to develop a breast abscess.[1]

Complications

Complications that may arise from mastitis include:

  • Recurrence
  • Recurrence appears especially in cases of delayed or inadequate treatment.
  • Abscess is the most severe complication that women can get from this condition.

Prognosis

The prognosis is usually good and mastitis clears quickly with antibiotic therapy. 73% of smokers diagnosed with mastitis[2] have the worst prognosis, especially those with non-puerperal mastitis, and have a higher rate of recurrence of breast abscesses.
