Partner suffers from reoccurring acute infection in breast tissue that turns septic

Posted , 3 users are following.

Okay, so sorry for any mistakes or that first time posted and it’s just really emotional.

So my gf (23) for the last few years has been suffering from an infection in her left breast that seems to occur and reoccur every 3 moths like clockwork it becomes severe she is in terrible pain the breast swells and on occasion goes septic. I don’t know manny if the specifics but she has been to specialists to talk about a mastectomy to remove infected tissue but has been turned down and has basically been told she has to live with it. It seriously affects her standard of life and we have been told that this is extremely unique only a few other cases have been reported, one of which the patient got pregnant and the infection never came back, don’t know if that’s related.

She is on a lot a pain meds most taken regularly.

The whole thing seriously affects her mental state and it kills me to see the woman I love suffer so much.

Sorry if there’s not a lot to go on but I’ve seen the wonders of the reddit community pull through for people

Any information you need I’ll try to get for you

Please help
