Mastectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or both breasts, typically as a treatment for breast cancer. There are different types of mastectomies, including total mastectomy, which removes the entire breast, and modified radical mastectomy, which also includes lymph nodes under the arm. It may be recommended based on the stage of cancer, genetic risk factors, or patient preference.
Breast pain, or mastalgia, is common and can be cyclical, linked to the menstrual cycle, or non-cyclical, unrelated to it. It may cause mild to sharp discomfort in one or both breasts, sometimes extending to the armpit. While often benign, persistent or severe pain should be evaluated by a healthcare provider. Treatment typically includes pain management, lifestyle changes, and addressing underlying causes.
A breast lump is a swelling, growth, or mass in the breast tissue. It can feel firm or soft, moveable or fixed, and may cause discomfort or pain. Breast lumps can have many causes, including benign conditions like fibroadenomas, cysts, or infections. However, some lumps can indicate breast cancer. It's essential to monitor any new or unusual breast lumps and seek medical evaluation for a proper diagnosis.
Phyllodes tumors are rare breast tumors that develop in the connective tissue (stroma) of the breast. While most phyllodes tumors are benign, some can be malignant or borderline. They tend to grow quickly but rarely spread beyond the breast. These tumors are typically painless, and women may notice a firm, mobile lump. Phyllode tumors are diagnosed via imaging and biopsy. Treatment often involves surgical removal, with a wide excision or mastectomy in severe cases, to reduce the risk of recurrence. Early detection and treatment are crucial for the best outcomes.
Fibroadenoma is a common, benign (non-cancerous) breast tumor that typically affects women under 30. It consists of glandular and connective breast tissue and feels like a firm, smooth, and mobile lump. Fibroadenomas are often painless, and they can vary in size. While the exact cause is unknown, they are believed to be linked to hormonal changes. Diagnosis is confirmed through a physical exam, ultrasound, and biopsy if necessary.
Galactorrhea is the abnormal production of breast milk in individuals who are not breastfeeding, and it can occur in both women and men. It is often caused by hormonal imbalances, particularly elevated levels of prolactin, the hormone responsible for milk production. Other causes include medications, thyroid disorders, or pituitary gland tumors. Symptoms include milky discharge from the nipple and breast tenderness. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, which may involve medication adjustments or addressing hormonal imbalances.
