| Core Tip |
Breast abscess during lactation is a serious complication of acute mastitis during lactation, which can cause breast pain, fistula, sepsis, septic shock, breast destruction, and disease persistence. Breast abscesses may lead a mother to discontinue lactation, harming the infant's health. Most patients were previously treated with antibiotics, abscess puncture, and surgical incision and drainage. The patients suffered from stress and discomfort, which readily induced breast scarring. Moreover, the disease's progression was prolonged and recurrent, interfering with newborn feeding. Traditional Chinese medicine Gualou Xiaoyong decoction combined with painless milking manipulation provides the benefits of short treatment duration, the lack of breastfeeding discontinuation, and speedy symptom alleviation. This article describes a case of breast abscess in breastfeeding that was cured with Gualou Xiaoyong decoction combined with painless breast opening therapy. It has the advantages of a short course of treatment, no trauma, cost saving, no need to stop lactation, and easy to improve symptoms quickly. |
