Disease of the breast

Breast was the companion of the modern woman. Today is a rare woman does not have early signs of mastitis. Morbidity mastitis today are increasingly ending puncture of cysts, or even removal of the affected sectors of the breast. Therefore, every woman should know the signs of mastitis, and the possibility of its treatment and prevention. Everyone is quite obvious that the main function of the mammary glands of postpartum breastfeeding. However, preparation for lactation occurs during pregnancy. This is due to changes in hormone levels in women. Glandular breast tissue contains a lot of receptors sensitive to hormones and growth responds rapidly to changes in hormonal levels. In the absence of pregnancy, these hormonal fluctuations in women may contribute to changes in the mammary glands. This leads to the most frequent disease of female breast mastitis. It is confirmed that 80% of women suffering from this disease, there are some hormonal disorders. How hormones affect the function of the mammary glands? The pituitary gland produces several important hormones. Closest to the breast - prolactin. He is preparing them for lactation. Prolactin is produced by the pituitary gland, not only during pregnancy. On a much smaller concentrations, it is determined in the blood constant. Short-term increase in the production of prolactin, especially at night in the second half of the menstrual cycle can cause headaches, swelling, tenderness and breast engorgement. Prolactin is produced by the pituitary gland, not only during pregnancy. There are two other pituitary hormones that affect ovarian function. One of them is a hormone that stimulates development of ovarian follicles nest-egg for the monthly development, the other - the hormone of the corpus luteum substance that causes changes in the ovaries, creating maximum comfort for the egg in the event that happened fertilization. These hormones are inferior to each other the influence of each month in a woman's body, causing the ovaries of the first half of the female cycle to produce more estrogen, progesterone and the second one. These hormones breasts are very sensitive, especially to estrogen. Changing influence of estrogen and progesterone receptors belong to all of cyclical changes in the female body. Excessive increase in estrogen levels is the most frequent cause of mastitis. What are the symptoms characterize the pathology of the mammary glands? In diseases of the mammary glands can be observed pain, tenderness, change in shape and appearance, changes in the skin covering the gland. Often there are one or more seals in the initial soft tissue cancer. Most breast tumors are not dangerous and is easily treatable, but you need to remember one rule: any seal, which appeared in the breast should be investigated by a doctor, mammalogists. Most likely (about 80% of cases) education will be benign, but it is necessary to exclude the possibility of a dangerous disease - breast cancer. The most common neoplasm of the breast due to mastitis. Breast - benign breast disease, which manifests itself in an abnormal proliferation of tissue with the formation of nodules, cysts, expansion of the milk ducts, which are often attached inflammation. There is a disease on a background of hormonal disorders in women. Breast significantly affects the health of many women, and even in some cases leads to a terrible disease - breast cancer. There are two types of mastitis: nodular and diffuse. When a node mastitis in the mammary gland revealed a single center with a fairly thick clear outline (similar to the oncology clinic), and diffuse - not clearly defined nodules, palpation accompanied by tenderness, may be discharge from the nipples. This division provides an opportunity to decide on tactics. Nodular form of mastitis is often simulates breast cancer, therefore, requires diagnostic measures for its exclusion. In the diffuse mastopathy limited survey and subsequent therapeutic treatment. Conservative treatment of mastitis is ineffective in the presence of her frequent companions of chronic inflammatory diseases of the uterus, gastrointestinal tract, the lack of some vitamins and minerals. Also allocate a separate form of mastitis - mammalgia, which is characterized by severe tenderness of the breast tissue, increasing during the menstrual cycle. The World Health Organization identifies several factors that contribute to the formation of mastopathy and breast cancer: A. Early and frequent abortions lead to changes in hormonal levels, and uncontrolled development of glandular breast tissue; Two. Not to breastfeed (without medical indication); Three. Early onset of menstruation (before age 11) and late menopause (after 55 years of age) often indicates too high a level of estrogen in the blood; 4. Gynecological diseases, accompanied by ovarian dysfunction (dysfunction, chronic inflammation of the appendages and the uterus); Five. Violation of hormonal (excess weight, uncontrolled birth control pills, disruption of the endocrine organs, including the thyroid, etc.); 6. Severe nervous shock brought forward in the recent past (up to 1 year). In recent studies much attention is paid to the influence of physiological and social development in breast diseases. It is proved that a woman who gave birth to 30 years, leading regular sex life, are protected from severe nervous shocks and deprived of male attention, was significantly less likely to suffer from diseases of the mammary glands; 7. Disease of female relatives on the maternal side. What is the role of monthly self-breast?. Throughout the world, mammalogy paramount importance attached to breast self-examination. Because only a woman who regularly performs the self-examination, knowing well the shape and structure of their mammary glands may be early enough to identify any changes in them, which means time to see a specialist. When the diagnosis "breast" is highly recommended once every six months to attend mammologist. When is it best to carry out self-examination? Self-examination must be performed once a month, the best c 6th to the 12th day after each menstrual period, or at the same time, postmenopausal women (for example, the 1st day of each month).
