Steroid injection for breast inflammation
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether injecting a steroid directly into the breast can treat a condition called idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM), which causes inflammation and lumps in the breast. The goal is to see if this treatment helps reduce symptoms without needing surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must agree to receive a steroid injection directly into the breast lump.
- You must not have an active infection.
