Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A breast tissue infection is the presence of microorganisms in the gland and tissues of the breast, which causes inflammation and discomfort in the affected area.
Common symptoms: You may notice redness, warmth, pain, a lump or firmness, and in some cases fever or discharge.
When should you see a doctor? It is advisable to seek care when breast pain that does not go away appears, along with skin changes or unusual discharge, especially during breastfeeding or after an injury.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who guides most cases, while the gynecologic oncologist gets involved when it is necessary to rule out other causes; a general practitioner can perform the first evaluation. The wisest thing is to have a professional examine the breast to define the appropriate approach.
