Overview

In most cases, patients may present a few days after delivery with localized breast complaints. The affected area is often close to the nipple and areola and commonly occurs on the upper inner side of the breast. The affected area usually occurs only on one breast and very rarely is the whole breast affected.

The most common symptoms of mastitis include: redness of the affected area, pain local to the affected area and local differential warmth.[1][2] Some patients may also experience flu-like symptoms, such as aches, shivering and chills, although this is less common.
