Mastitis

Mastitis is a painful inflammation of breast tissue, most often in breastfeeding women, where blocked milk flow or infection leaves the breast swollen, tender and sore. Probiotics, especially Lactobacillus strains, are the supplements people look at most, and the evidence for them is moderate, though little research on mastitis itself has been reviewed here so far. Lecithin, vitamin C, vitamin D and omega-3s have only limited evidence, so their role is still uncertain.
