Nursing Case Report on Manual Lactation Therapy Combined with Puncture and Aspiration for a Patient with Breast Abscess Secondary to Mastitis
This paper presents a nursing case of a patient with breast abscess (suppurative stage of mastitis) treated with manual lactation therapy combined with ultrasound-guided puncture and aspiration. The patient, a 33-year-old lactating woman, presented with right breast swelling, pain, and fever postpartum, diagnosed as acute mastitis with abscess formation. Following ultrasound-guided abscess aspiration and coordinated manual lactation therapy, the patient showed gradual absorption of the abscess cavity, restored milk flow, significant reduction in breast redness and swelling, and resolution of pain, with improved comfort. No adverse events (e.g., milk fistula) occurred during treatment, and the patient expressed satisfaction with the outcome. This case demonstrates the efficacy of integrating manual lactation therapy with puncture and aspiration in the rehabilitation of suppurative mastitis, offering a reference for clinical nursing practice.
