A member asked:
Can you get a breast infection from partner sucking breast? i have a sore swollen mass and will it go away on it's own or require treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mastitis: You might have developed mastitis which is infection of the breast tissue, a common condition breastfeeding female get. If the area is red, warm, painful, i suggest you see a doctor for evaluation. If it is indeed infected, you would need an anti-biotic for treatment of it.
