Breast Infection
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A breast infection is a process in which the breast becomes inflamed due to the action of bacteria or other agents, producing pain and visible changes in the breast.
Common causes: It is often associated with breastfeeding, cracked nipples, or blocked ducts, though it can also occur outside that period.
Common symptoms: Localized pain, redness, increased warmth of the skin, and sometimes fever or general fatigue.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the right professional to evaluate it, with support from the gynecologic oncologist in situations that warrant it; a general practitioner can provide the initial guidance. If you notice persistent breast discomfort, seeking an early evaluation is the best decision.
