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

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