if antibiotics don't work, the doctor should rule out cancer? this seems counterintuitive, anyone care to expound on this?
i think it is trying to say that:
the physician should then go on to test and rule out breast cancer
I think there is an error and that the word "not" has been missed out otherwise the sentence is nonsensical.
Whether or not an average breast feeding enthusiast from LLL is more adept than an average obstetrician is an opinion for forum discussions, not a fact for encyclopedias. 207.172.172.221 03:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm surprised cabbage leaves haven't been mentioned as the most popular and effective treat -(although that might be only outside the US). [1] -- Aspro 16:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
are huge differences are across countries and US is certainly not reknowned to be #1 breastfeeding nation. I did also read of some Philipine plant used for treatment of brest problems - Sambong -- Richiez 17:45, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Noticed that Fibrocystic Disease and a few other more or less related keywords for benign breast conditions link to the Mastitis page. Should this page handle more benign breast conditions (and perhaps get renamed accordingly) or should every topic get own entry?

I am working on several sections of this article and want to upload the changes in one go, if anyone is planning bigger changes would be better to mention it here so we don't waste too much effort. My changes will probably include

Uploaded my version new version.. sorry for the mixed reference styles but inline references are a lot of pain for me to work with. Ideally I would just write {{{1234567}}}.. does that exist??
On my TODO list now
Since the basic structure of the article is now more or less in place I will work in smaller chunks

Rises in sodium levels are found during mastitis. This is well reported. However, could you please supply references for hyponatraemic shock in the breastfeeding child - a condition which I have never seen in 15 years of work with breastfeeding women with mastitis.

This has been on my radar for some time but do not currently have the time to finish up the changes to commit them into the article.
PMID 18757649 recently hit the headlines, some comments:
Latter question is not hypothetical. It should be well known (but maybe is not) since at least PMID 15112132 that excellent treatment success is possible without antibiotics. In fact the reported results of Peters are so outstanding that one might wonder if antibiotics actually make things worse. It has been indeed asserted in literature that early use of antibiotics does increase risk of abscessation. Btw Universitätsklinik Frankfurt is an university hospital where a bias towards lighter cases appears very unlikely.
I would be surprised if we ever see any double blinded randomized trial of mastitis treatment methods. The question antibiotics or not and at which stage is difficult to decide, particularly because severity of symptoms on presentation is not a reliable predictor for neither outcome nor an indication of pathogenesis. In my opinion it seems clear that indiscriminate use of antibiotics (especially by insufficiently trained staff) should be minimized.

Some interesting material on mostly non-puerperal breast abscess and MRSA is here http://archsurg.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/142/9/881. Nonpuerperal breast abscess usually have long history of recurrent inflammation so in this case the occurence of MRSA may be partially explained by long pretreatment with common antibiotics. Only around 60% of abscesses showed any bacterial yield.

I've just redirected Acute mastitis here. That article had very little information, and no sources. It did say that acute puerperal and nonpuerperal mastitis are treated by antibiotics and surgical draining. Can someone with a medical textbook handy write about treatment? -- SV Resolution( Talk) 12:50, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
PMID 20455694 is out. Seems like a very valuable addition to a nonexistent ( PMID 19160255) body of evidence - they did even bacteria counts, almost unheard off in mastitis research. I am not sure I would wholeheartedly endorse the lactobacili now but it shows once again that antibiotics have extraordinary poor efficiacy in mastitis. Richiez ( talk) 15:13, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Suggesting the merge because for most readers and many editors mastitis is identical to puerperal mastitis, leading to confusion, duplicated effort and readers looking at suboptimal articles. Long time ago it was intended to have mastitis as an overview for all inflammatory breast lesions but as of now the articles did grow to cover largely the same content.
Propose to merge puerperal mastitis into mastitis and provide a link to a disambiguation page on top of mastitis, make puerperal mastitis redirect to mastitis. The section about breast cancer&mastitis will be split and moved to respective subpages. Richiez ( talk) 16:01, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
Also think I will create Inflammatory breast conditions and reuse most of nonpuerperal mastitis for that. Nonpuerperal mastitis will remain as redirect to the new overview page. Richiez ( talk)

The group's edits substantially improved the article. I liked that non-pregnancy related causes of mastitis was added as well as specific treatments for different types of mastitis. The article was neutral and the group achieved its overall goals for improvement. There is no evidence of plagiarism or copyright violation.

I think this article should have a section about neonatal mastitis, that is mastitis in newborns. There are quite a few good sources around. And yet another section about puberty/adolescent mastitis. Debresser ( talk) 21:08, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
