10 Mastitis Symptoms

Symptom #2: Tenderness in the Breast
Another thing that patients with mastitis tend to notice is tenderness in the breast. Tenderness is a bit different than pain, primarily because it does not usually bother a person unless the affected area is having pressure applied to it.
Tenderness is a feeling of extreme sensitivity and possible discomfort that occurs when the affected area is touched or pressurized. Tenderness is most apparent when breastfeeding, putting on clothes, engaging in physical activity, or having sex.
