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:
Abscess is the most severe complication that women can get from this condition. 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 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.
