Breastfeeding and secretory factors in idiopathic granulomatous mastitis: Unveiling etiological insights
Most patients reported recent breastfeeding and half experienced related problems, supporting the secretion theory's relevance in IGM's etiology. The absence of seasonal fluctuations suggests that secretion-related factors may be more central to IGM development than autoimmunity or infections. These findings offer crucial insights for future research into IGM's complex causes.
