Compaction in the mammary gland

Causes

• Abortion. At the onset of pregnancy, the mammary glands begin preparations for milk production almost immediately. As a result of the termination of pregnancy, serious interference occurs in the hormonal system, as a result of which the mammary glands undergo a negative impact.
• Gynecological diseases. Any gynecological diseases can provoke pain in the mammary glands, as they have an inseparable connection with all organs of the genital system.
• Diseases of the endocrine system of the body (includes the ovaries, liver, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands).
• Neurological disorders, stressful situations.
• Absence of breastfeeding.
• Late childbirth.

Compaction in the mammary gland in diffuse form

The consolidation in the mammary gland with this form of the disease can be almost the only symptom. As a rule, such diffuse sprouting does not cause great inconvenience and usually make itself felt a few days before the onset of menstruation. After the end of menstruation, discomforting sensations usually disappear. In some cases, the pain syndrome can be expressed throughout the menstrual cycle. Sealed formations with diffuse mastopathy can have a soft or slightly compacted structure, and are also capable of shifting. The pain in the mammary glands is often given to the underarm area, there may also appear secretions from the nipples of various shades - white, green or yellow.

Compaction in the mammary gland with nodular form

Nodular mastopathy is a focal form of fibrocystic disease and is characterized by localization in the mammary gland of nodal formations. Against the backdrop of this form of the disease, the threat of cancer increases. Manifestations of this disease include tumor-like formations that have clear boundaries, are not soldered to the nipple and skin, as well as secretions from the nipples, appearing spontaneously as well as in the process of pressing. In the lying position, the nodes are not probed, lymph nodes are not enlarged. Pain syndrome can spread to the scapula and shoulder area.

Diagnosis of the disease includes mammary palpation, ultrasound, mammography, cytology. Self-examination of the mammary glands is very important in detecting compaction in the mammary gland, as in some cases the disease can be asymptomatic. If you have any signs that are disturbing you should consult a mammologist.

How is compression in the mammary gland treated for mastopathy?

As conservative methods of treatment use the drug mastodinone (30 drops or 1 pill twice a day, the minimum course of admission is three months), mulim (drip under the tongue for fifteen-twenty drops 3-5 times a day), vitokan ( for thirty drops 3 times a day for 20 minutes before meals, the course of treatment is 1 month), iodomarine, vitamins Aevit, phyto tea of professor Pechersky "Mastophyte", bromcampor and other sedatives. As a hormonal therapy, the local use of the gel "Progestocell" or "Prozhestin" is possible. When mastopathy should avoid visiting the bath, solarium, as well as being in direct sunlight. All drugs can be used strictly under the supervision and on the prescription of a doctor. Surgical intervention can be prescribed on the basis of the form and course of the disease.

Cystic formation

Cyst is a cavity compacted formation with liquid contents. Often, cysts do not cause pain, have a smooth surface, characterized by a slight mobility with respect to the tissues of the breast. The cyst is diagnosed by ultrasound, mammography and palpation, and can be a consequence of fibrocystic disease. When small cysts are found, conservative treatment is prescribed. When large cysts are formed, a puncture is performed and the fluid is removed from them.

Injuries

The compaction in the mammary gland can appear as a result of traumatic injuries. Injuries to the mammary glands can be combined with injuries of the ribs, sternum, thorax. In the process of primary self-examination, the mammary glands and axillary hollows should be carefully palpated. Any injuries of the mammary glands require urgent attention to the mammalogist and conducting a detailed examination, it is possible to conduct radiometry, mammography, ultrasound, in some cases - computer or magnetic resonance imaging of the mammary glands.

Compaction in the mammary gland with mastitis

The manifestations of this disease can be quite different - from the appearance of local compaction in the tissues of the mammary gland to the formation of severe puffiness, in some cases, the nipple is contracted, the lymph nodes of the regional zones increase. Mastitis is the development of the inflammatory process in the tissues of the mammary gland. In most cases occurs during breastfeeding. The main signs of mastitis are the consolidation of the mammary glands, hyperemia of the skin, an increase in temperature, the bursting character of pain. As treatment, antibiotic therapy, novocain blockades can be prescribed. Perhaps the local use of the "Traumeel C" ointment. This drug has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, regenerating and immunomodulating action. Ointment is applied to the affected area two or three times a day with light rubbing movements. In the acute period of the disease, it is possible to use the ointment four to five times a day.

If you have found a tightening in the mammary gland, be sure to visit the gynecologist, mammologist, endocrinologist.
