Breast feeding

Almost all mothers in Norway start breastfeeding, but less than half breastfeed as long and as often as the health authorities recommend. Unfortunately, many mothers experience breastfeeding problems that could often have been prevented or solved with knowledge-based breastfeeding guidance. It is important to seek help early if you experience difficulties.

Mastitis

Mastitis is a painful condition that can occur when the milk ducts become blocked, usually as a result of bacterial infection.

Symptoms include redness, warmth and swelling of the chest, as well as fever and general malaise.

Our doctors can diagnose breast inflammation and prescribe the appropriate treatment, which usually includes antibiotics and pain medications. In addition to medical treatment, our doctors can advise on self-care measures to relieve pain and speed up the healing process.

In the clinic, we have the option of sampling and examination.
