Recently, women have more and more often a disease such as fibrocystic mastopathy. Treatment of this problem should be carried out by a specialist. According to statistics, from 20 to 60% of girls and women suffer from mastopathy.
The disease is the formation of lumps in the tissues of the breast. With untimely treatment, in some cases it can turn into an oncological tumor.
Fibrocystic mastopathy, the treatment of which cannot be postponed until later, most often occurs against the background of hormonal disruptions. Stress, nervous strain, chest injuries, menopause, inflammatory processes or infections of the organs in the pelvis contribute to the onset of the disease. Even abortion can trigger the onset of this disease. Naturally, heredity also plays an important role in the occurrence of mastopathy.
There are different forms of mastopathy: without proliferation and with proliferation of epithelium of various degrees. Fibrocystic mastopathy symptoms may have the following: a feeling of chest pain, especially before the start of the monthly cycle, the presence of small
seals in the mammary gland. With the development of the disease, the pain goes away, and the seals increase. One breast can grow and look asymmetrical in relation to the other breast. If mastopathy is sufficiently started, then the appearance of bloody discharge from the nipple may be observed. The skin at the site of neoplasm may turn red.
Diagnosis of the disease is multifaceted. The patient not only takes various tests, but also performs an ultrasound of the breast, as well as an x-ray examination of the breast. The images should show enlightenment at the site of cyst formation. As for the tests, then the blood must be checked for hormones. Naturally, a biological study of the cyst tissue for malignant cells is carried out.
With a disease such as fibrocystic mastopathy, treatment is necessarily carried out in a complex. First of all, it is aimed at regulating the functioning of the hormonal system, treating infections and inflammation of the genital organs. It is still necessary to stop the pathological growth of tissue in the mammary gland.
Further, fibrocystic mastopathy, the treatment of which is performed both at home and in a medical institution, is influenced by physiotherapeutic procedures (electrophoresis can serve as an example), but only as directed by a doctor! Women under forty years of age receive microdoses of potassium iodide, which should stop the growth of tissues in the gland.
Fibrous mastopathy requires additional treatment for concomitant diseases that may be its cause. If necessary, the patient undergoes an operation to remove cysts. All removed cysts should be checked for malignant cells.
For the prevention of the disease, it is necessary to consult a doctor at the slightest suspicion of chest tightness, prevent hormonal imbalance, and if it is disturbed, try to correct the situation. The first signs of the disease should force a woman to consult a mammologist for timely treatment.
