Mastitis Care
Mastitis, a common condition among breastfeeding mothers, occurs when the breast tissue becomes inflamed, often due to milk duct blockage and occasionally, bacterial infection. This painful condition can result in symptoms such as redness, swelling, warmth, and tenderness in the affected breast, accompanied by flu-like symptoms such as fever and fatigue. Prompt recognition and management are essential to prevent complications and ensure continued breastfeeding success.
Femme Physio offers support & treatment for breastfeeding women.
We advise and treat women experiencing mastitis (inflammation of the breast) & blocked ducts.
Treatment includes therapeutic ultrasound, lymphatic massage and specialist advice. In our experience, early detection together with the above treatment options can help alleviate pain & symptoms.
As mastitis can be a painful & debilitating experience, particularly when adjusting to having a newborn, every effort is made to facilitate house calls.
