When a breastfeeding mother consults because of chronic, deep breast pain, we feel weak at the knees. Often these mothers have been to several specialists and nothing has worked for them. Is it mastitis? Thrush? Referred pain from an inadequate latch? Emotional issues? Or is it all of the above, and even more? In this presentation we will learn to do an in-depth clinical history and to use an holistic model for a systematic management of chronic breast pain, so we can offer these mothers more efficient solutions – and better counselling.
The most frequent cause of weaning worldwide is mother´s feeling that she does not have enough milk or that her infant is hungry despite her efforts… and frequently this perception becomes a reality. What support systems and clinical strategies can we use to protect mother´s normal capacity for milk production?
In this session, the speaker will review the latest evidence and protocols for management of acute lactational mastitis and other types of mastitis, discuss clinical symptoms, microbiological findings and therapeutic approaches, as well as delve into emerging therapies and the evidence behind them.
