What is nonlactational mastitis?
Nonlactational mastitis is similar to lactational mastitis but occurs in nonlactating women. In some cases, this condition occurs in women who have had lumpectomies followed by radiation therapy, in women with diabetes, or in women whose immune systems are depressed. While this condition is rare, it is usually accompanied by high fever and headache and treated with antibiotics. Consult your physician for a diagnosis and treatment.
