Mastitis and lactostasis in breastfeeding women - how to prevent these diseases?
During pregnancy and after childbirth, a woman's breasts usually enlarge, sometimes very dramatically - by several sizes. As a rule, this is due to the “arrival” of milk in the first few days after the birth of the child. The change in breast volume requires the selection of special bras that take into account the size of the mammary glands, otherwise a woman may have lactostasis or even mastitis.
