Evaluation of the efficacy, prognosis and safety of dexamethasone in the treatment of different types of non-puerperal mastitis: A retrospective study
Dexamethasone combined with levofloxacin/Metronidazole in the treatment of NPM has many advantages: first of all, it can significantly relieve the pain symptoms caused by the disease and effectively reduce the size of the lesion. Meanwhile, for the patients who plan to undergo surgery, the number of days of preoperative drug treatment can be reduced, and the overall effective rate is the highest. Secondly, the short-term application of drugs to treat side effects less, high safety; in the meantime, the risk of recurrence of the ipsilateral breast was less and the satisfaction of the patients was higher. The overall significant efficiency and recovery rate of GLM patients were higher than those of PCM patients.
