Lactation mastitis may be caused by improper breastfeeding, decreased immunity, nipple damage and other reasons, details are as follows:
1. improper breastfeeding
if the timing is not arranged well, will lead to incomplete breast milk emptying, leading to milk deposition in the mammary duct, easy to breed bacteria, it will cause mastitis.
2. decreased immunity
lactating women may be due to lack of sleep, fatigue, tension and anxiety, the body immunity is reduced, the breast is vulnerable to bacterial invasion, and thus increase the risk of mastitis.
3. nipple damage
during breastfeeding, due to the baby's sucking, may lead to nipple damage, easy to infection, resulting in mastitis.
