Overview
Natural history
Complications
Complications that may arise from mastitis include:
- recurrence
- milk stasis
- abscess
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.
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.
Prognosis
The condition usually clears quickly with antibiotic therapy. Current smokers have the worst prognosis and highest rate of recurrent abscesses.
