Cause of mastitis in non breast feeding post surgery woman?!
Question:
Cause of mastitis in non breast feeding post surgery woman?
I have mastitis (infection of breast), and am not breast feeding. The doctor said is it probably staph infection and is treating me with antibiotics, and it is responding well. However, i was also in hospital last month to have gall bladder removed. Could the mastitis i have now be related to the surgery i had last month? Can Staph spread to the breast from another part of the body?

Not sure...I had double mastitis when breast feeding my twins and ended up in the hospital for 5 days on antibiotic IV with a fever of 105. It is easy to pick up a staph in a Hospital. Feel better real soon!!!!!!!
