Mastitis, mastopathy
The most common disease ismastopathy. Doctors often use this disease to describe a whole range of symptoms, some of which they themselves cannot explain. The main symptoms of the disease are small lumps that appear in the mammary glands. Sometimes the nodules are small and do not cause discomfort. But in most cases, they are the size of a pea, slightly mobile and cause noticeable pain even when touched. A number of diseases can provoke the appearance of mastopathy, such as cysts, hormonal system failures, and breast injuries. Mastopathy can also occur after severe mental trauma, abortions, or miscarriages. Mastitis is another fairly well-known disease of the mammary glands today. This disease is usually classified as acute. Mastitis is characterized by swelling of the mammary gland, which is accompanied by pain and a noticeable increase in temperature. Since mastitis in most cases is a consequence of improper milk expression, cracked nipples, and the introduction of microbes into the breast through open milk ducts when feeding a child, the course of the disease is also accompanied by milk stagnation in the breast, which prevents normal lactation. You can prevent mastitis yourself if you do not overcool your breasts, express milk in time, wash your breasts during lactation several times a day with warm soapy water and rub them lightly with a towel. But treating mastitis yourself with medications is strictly prohibited. Firstly, it can harm the child, and secondly, it is dangerous for the woman's health, since the infection can develop even more in the breast.
Different breast tumors
Such diseases of the mammary glands are very common.glands, as different types of tumors. Formations can be benign (cyst) and malignant (cancer). Tumors are the most dangerous diseases, as they often lead to the need for surgery, and in cases of cancer, even to chemotherapy. A cyst is cured either with medication (in the early stages) or by surgery (in the acute course of the disease). Cancer is so unpredictable that it is impossible to give a clear answer to its treatment without consulting a mammologist and oncologist. In order to identify the presence of tumors in the mammary glands in time, you need to undergo a gynecological examination every year. And in places with a poor environmental situation, it is recommended to undergo mammography, which allows you to detect breast cancer in the early stages and completely cure it or stop it. The causes of tumors can be quite varied: from injuries and past infectious diseases to the negative impact of the external environment and the presence of constant stress. In any case, the main thing is to promptly identify the disease and apply treatment.
