Mastosis

Mastosis is an inflammatory condition that affects the breast tissue. It is characterized by redness, swelling, and pain in the affected area. It is commonly caused by an infection or an allergic reaction, and is often associated with breastfeeding. In some cases, mastosis can be caused by a tumor or other abnormal growth in the breast tissue. Mastosis can cause a variety of symptoms, including redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, and warmth in the affected area. In some cases, the breast may also become enlarged and lumpy. If the infection is severe, it may also lead to fever, nausea, and chills. Mastosis is usually treated with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, and pain relievers. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove any abnormal growths in the breast tissue. It is important to note that mastosis can recur, so it is important to monitor the affected area closely. If symptoms worsen or recur, it is important to seek medical attention.
