Breast deseases<\/h1>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Woman’s breast is subject to functional and morphological changes associated with menstruation, pregnancy, lactation and menopause. There are many benign but also malignant conditions in the breast. However, we can treat succesfully if we diagnose them early.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Prevention<\/h3>\n<\/div>

Every woman is required to do a self-examination once every 6 months. Women have detected most tumors by themselves. No one can know a woman’s breast better than herself!
Undoubtedly, after the age of 20 years, the gynecologists should examine women once every year. If\u00a0 the gynecologists suspect a condition, they suggest a breast ultrasound.
At the age of 40, women must do their first mammography. After this age mammography \/ ultrasound should be done annually and from 50-69 years of age every 2 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

How is a breast self-examination done?<\/h3>\n<\/div>

Breast self examination includes visual and then palpable examination. The visual examination is done in front of a mirror with the hands down and parallel to the body. We notice any unusual signs or changes in the breasts, such as a change in size or in their shape, any lumps, lumps or redness in the area. We repeat the same test with your arms upright or behind the head.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

If there is some excretion from the nipple, or if any other lesion is felt, you must inform the gynecologist directly, who will perform a full examination.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Benign diseases<\/h3>\n<\/div>

Benign conditions are 88% -90% of the pathology of the breast and include all pathological conditions other than cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>

Fibrocystic disease<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>

Inflammatory diseases such as mastitis<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Secretions from the nipple (excretion from the nipple, out of pregnancy and lactation, is an abnormal finding. And for this reason we should do a cytological control of the exudate. Any secretion, however, from the breast does not prejudge malignancy. There are a large number of situations which can cause pathological secretion, such as taking medication, hormonal causes, etc.))<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

        The treatment of breast cancer is effective in the majority of cases, especially if we diagnose it early. It includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal preparations and surgical treatment. We often need to combine the above mentioned therapies.<\/p>\n<\/div>
