Guest guest Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 yes, I have. she may have a yucky type of mastitis that I can't remember the name of. but I know part of it is "granular" I've only seen it once thank goodness. I would try to get her to go to a breast specialist.... if there is one in your area. sounds awful.

Mom is 37 wks pregnant and has engorged breast with clogged duct doctors want her to start pumping so she pumped for the first time for 20 min and got what she has described as straight blood about .5 ounce. I have not seen mom yet I am just going off what she is telling me. She's wondering how often to pump. She reports her breast has been swollen and sore for months. She had a consult with a surgeon and they made a point to say she needed to get this resolved before delivery or she wouldn't be able to breastfeed. This is mom's first child. Has anyone seen or heard of this? What would you recommend. Karman Romero IBCLC, RN, BSN www.babysbreaststart.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I forgot to mention they did say she had mastitis and she has been on several antibiotics but they did not help at all. So far they have not mentioned it being an abscess. Karman Romero IBCLC, RN, BSN www.babysbreaststart.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 the mastitis that my client had was really nasty. it had to be drained and she had to stop lactating even on the unaffected side for it to finally heal.. granular something. I'll google it.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I've only seen this once. Mom had had 2 bouts of antibiotics, due to early mastitis, while she was still pregnant. It didn't clear up until after she delivered. The IV antibiotics finally cleared it up.. She was pumping thick, bloody, pus. Has the drainage been cultured?

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I've seen 2 patients with these symptoms. 1 patient had Strep A and gave birth prematurely. This particular patient had consulted a RN help line for her insurance company who told her it must be that her '...milk is coming in prematurely'....she had a huge blood filled abscess. Please get someone to culture this. It sounds like this is not bilateral, should not necessarily interfere with the function of her other breast but they need to figure out what is the cause. > > At least for me ptp.
