Mastopathy is a disease with which almost half of the women on the planet live. But this does not mean that it does not need to be treated. There is no need for therapy when the woman does not feel pain, and the tumor does not increase in size. Otherwise, the disease requires a thorough diagnosis from itself (ultrasound - once every six months) and treatment, which should be carried out only under the supervision of a doctor. Self-therapy can lead to disastrous consequences in the form of the transformation of a benign tumor into a malignant one.
- a disease to which women over the age of 30 are predisposed, who have not had a pregnancy and lactation period, and who also have hormonal disorders. Sometimes women doubt whether it is necessary to treat mastopathy, or the neoplasms will go away on their own. Doctors do not have such doubts, since the advanced stages of mastopathy can degenerate into malignant tumors.
Mastopathy is characterized by the proliferation of breast tissue:
- connecting;
- alveoli;
- ducts;
- fatty (in rare cases).
The disease takes several forms. The very first is diffuse mastopathy. It is characterized by the appearance of small balls that can spread throughout the breast. Symptoms at this stage are mild, a woman may feel:
- slight soreness, especially during the premenstrual period;
- balls in the upper chest may appear and disappear;
- no discharge from the nipples.
Often, a woman does not pay attention to such signs of the disease, which provokes further progression of the disease and nodes begin to appear. These are dense formations, their size can reach the volume of a walnut. Symptoms, at this stage, are pronounced:
- severe pain that does not go away after menstruation;
- bloody discharge from the nipples;
- clearly palpable seals.
The best treatment results can be achieved at the diffuse stage of the disease.
There are three more stages that arise during the progression of the disease:
- fibrous;
- cystic;
- fibrocystic.
At the fibrous stage, compaction occurs in the connective tissues, and the cystic stage is characterized by damage to the alveoli and ducts. If the advice of the mammologist is not followed and effective methods of treating mastopathy at these stages are not taken, then the cyst can develop into a malignant (cancerous) tumor.
