Breast inflammation with breast implants
Hello!
I have been wearing UBM breast implants for 8 months, which have healed without complications and have never caused any problems. Now, I have been experiencing pain (pressure pain) in my right breast below the nipple for about 8 days. No fever. The pain is not in the whole breast, but only in the area directly below the nipple. After about 3 days, I started experiencing pain in the armpit as well. I went to my gynecologist who diagnosed a breast infection. I was prescribed antibiotics "Cefaclor 500" for 5 days, twice a day, and "Ibu 400" three times a day. I also did some quark compresses. Unfortunately, after 4 days of antibiotics, there has been no improvement, only the pain in the armpit has gone away. I unfortunately get the impression that my gynecologist is not very motivated to provide follow-up care due to the breast augmentation surgery I had in the Czech Republic. (His comment: "Get the number of the Czech doctor ready, the implants may need to be removed!")
Now, my question is: Why is the antibiotic not working? Should I extend the treatment or switch medications? In what case would the implants actually need to be removed?
Thank you in advance!
Regards, Stefanie
