In the past few days, Xiao Liu has been very worried as she experienced symptoms of redness, swelling, and pain in her breasts. She didn't know what was wrong, but after going to the hospital with her husband for a check-up, it was discovered that she had contracted acute mastitis. It turned out that Xiao Liu had a habit of wearing bras that were one size too small, and the tightness of the bra caused friction on her skin, leading to an infection in her breast. Experts from Xi'an Breast Specialty Hospital remind women not to wear bras that are too tight to prevent infections.
[What is the cause of breast redness and swelling? It could be a symptom of acute mastitis.]
1. In the initial stage of acute simple mastitis, the main symptoms are breast distension and pain, local high skin temperature, tenderness, hard lumps with unclear boundaries, and touch-induced pain.
2. Acute suppurative mastitis presents with local skin redness, swelling, heat, and pain, more obvious hard lumps, increased touch-induced pain, along with chills, high fever, headache, weakness, fast pulse, and other systemic symptoms. Swollen lymph nodes may appear under the armpit with tenderness, elevated white blood cell count in blood tests, and severe cases can lead to sepsis.
3. Abscess formation: due to ineffective treatment measures or worsening of the condition, local tissues undergo necrosis and liquefaction. Various sizes of infection foci merge to form abscesses. Abscesses can be single-chambered or multi-chambered. Superficial abscesses are easily detected, while deeper abscesses have less obvious fluctuation and are harder to detect. If the patient has significant systemic symptoms and local and systemic drug treatments are not effective, it is necessary to perform puncture at the painful area. Diagnosis of abscesses can be confirmed by drawing pus or finding white blood cells in smears.

1. Unique efficacy of combined Chinese and Western medicine: effectively regulates endocrine, providing comprehensive internal and external regulation.
2. Internal and external application: applying precious traditional Chinese medicine externally on the affected breast area to achieve the effects of reducing swelling, regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and removing stasis, softening and dispersing hard lumps, and reducing swelling and pain.
3. Advanced instrument treatment: under infrared irradiation, breast tissue temperature rises, capillaries expand, blood flow accelerates, material metabolism enhances, and tissue cell activity and regeneration ability increase. This allows internal breast lumps to soften and be absorbed, achieving a fundamental effect of treating both internally and externally.
4. Breast minimally invasive surgery: minimal damage, thorough treatment, aesthetic results, and complete removal of breast lumps without leaving scars. The most advanced ultrasound guides the process, allowing for precise positioning under direct ultrasound visualization, ensuring complete removal of the lesion.
