I am 21 weeks pregnant. Over a month ago, this started with inflammation, inverted nipple. Progressively got worse. Three visits to the Dr and three visits to the breast health center has resulted in several ultrasounds, a mammogram, 3 bouts of antibiotics (clindymiacin, last one taken, and finally the inflammation (pus, gross, I know) tore through. They lanced it, packed it to no avail, and now put in a Penrose drain. The biopsy has ruled out cancer, but today was told I will go back for another biopsy to test for granulomatous mastitis.
Has anyone undergone this while pregnant? What was your treatment? My Dr said it is usually treated with steroids, but because I am pregnant, they can't give me any. I am so frustrated with the run around and pain. I'm worried about the effects the antibiotics may have had on the baby. Today I will start juicing regimen, but will need to include some meals (for baby). Want to flush out out this infection, and boost my immune system. I was absolutely amazed by the "fat , sick, and nearly dead " documentary. Any info would really help :)
