While breastfeeding, an obstruction of milk flow can occur in the ductal system of the breast. This can lead to inflammation and/or infection of the breast, also known as mastitis. Most often this occurs early on, in the first 6-8 weeks postpartum, however, it can happen at any time while breastfeeding.
**If you are experiencing any signs or symptoms of infection, such as swelling, redness, or heat, it is recommended that you contact your doctor first to rule out infection and receive an appropriate antibiotic if needed.
My physical therapist took the time to listen to my story and my issues, listen to me cry, and offer real solutions and goals. Everyone is so personable, they have real conversations with you, and treat you more like a friend than a patient. I will never go anywhere else or trust anyone else with my physical therapy needs.
