Inflammation of one or more mammary glands with in the breast,
usually in a lactating woman. It can be felt as a hard, sore spot within the breast.
Mastitis can be caused by an infection in the breast or by a plugged milk duct.
Treatment is by rest, applying warm compresses to the affected area, and for those
who are lactating, nursing or expressing milk frequently. Women with mastitis recurring
during nursing could benefit by consulting a lactation expert through their obstetrician,
midwife, or the La Leche League.
