Non-lactational mastitis (non-puerperal mastitis) is inflammation of breast tissue outside the breastfeeding period. The most common symptoms are:
• Pain and tenderness: Localized pain in the breast, usually one-sided
• Redness and warmth: Redness on skin in the inflamed area and warmth to touch
• Swelling and firmness: A nodule or firm area can develop in the breast
• Fever and malaise: Body temperature elevation, general irritability, sometimes chills
• Nipple discharge: Sometimes inflamed or bloody discharge appears
Non-lactational mastitis most commonly occurs in women ages 20-40, especially smokers and those with nipple cracks or perforations. If fever accompanies symptoms or they don't improve within 2-3 days, definitely see a general surgeon.
