Mastitis
When the breast tissue becomes inflamed and painful, sometimes during breastfeeding, it may be mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland that is at times accompanied by infection.
Common symptoms: pain, redness, warmth, and swelling in an area of the breast, which may be joined by fever and general malaise.
Common causes: it is usually related to the buildup of milk during breastfeeding or to the entry of bacteria, though it can also occur outside of that period.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist and the family physician assess this condition, and the general surgeon may take part in specific cases. If you notice the breast red, painful, and with fever, it is worth consulting soon to receive an appropriate evaluation.
