What are the Signs and Symptoms of a Breast Infection?

 Mastitis is an infection of the breast tissue, and it most usually affects breastfeeding mothers. Pain, swelling, and redness, are all symptoms of this infection. It can happen when bacteria enter a milk duct through a crack in the nipple, frequently from the infant’s mouth. This results in painful upper body inflammation and illness.

                                              


It most frequently occurs one to three months after childbirth, but it can also happen to women who have just given birth as well as people who have gone through menopause.
