Diagnosis

In most cases, the diagnosis of mastitis non puerperalis is made by interviewing the affected patient. Above all, the symptoms perceived by the patient play a decisive role in the diagnosis of mastitis non puerperalis. If, after an extensive doctor-patient consultation (anamnesis), the presence of mastitis is suspected, further measures can be initiated.

In the diagnosis of mastitis non puerperalis, the examination of the mammary gland tissue using ultrasound and mammography plays a decisive role. The most important differential diagnosis of mastitis non puerperalis is the so-called “inflammatory mammary carcinoma”, which also shows the typical signs of inflammation.
