What are some predisposing factors to abscess formation in breastfeeding individuals?

  1. Recent breastfeeding initiation

  2. Use of lanolin cream

  3. Inadequate milk supply

  4. Delay in treatment or abrupt weaning

The correct answer is: Delay in treatment or abrupt weaning

Abscess formation in breastfeeding individuals can occur due to various reasons, but one of the key predisposing factors is a delay in treatment or abrupt weaning. When there is a delayed response to addressing issues such as blocked ducts or mastitis, it can lead to a more severe infection, increasing the risk of abscess formation. Similarly, abrupt weaning can put additional stress on the breast tissue and milk ducts, potentially leading to complications such as abscesses. Therefore, recognizing the importance of timely intervention and gradual weaning processes can help mitigate the risk of abscess formation in breastfeeding individuals.
