Additional mammary glands under the mouse

Additional mammary glands under the arm are anomalies. The fact is that extra lobules are located directly in the armpit. Not all women know about their small features. This is mostly found on a doctor's appointment. Sometimes, the lobe is noticeable and with the naked eye. In some cases, the lactiferous stream opens directly into the armpit. Visually it reminds a usual pryshchik. During pregnancy and childbirth, this anomaly becomes obvious.

Causes of the additional mammary glands under the arm

The reasons for the appearance of this anomaly are not yet fully determined. More precisely, there is still no consensus on the factors that contribute to their development.

Usually, additional mammary glands appear due to genetic disorders. This happens against a background of hormonal failure or splash. For example, it can be the same menopause, pregnancy or puberty.

Additional glands have always been attributed to pathologies. In fact, this is an anomaly. The breast of a woman has a symmetrical arrangement. Naturally, it consists only of 2 glands. Additional

"Outgrowth" can be located under the normal glands. But, there are more "interesting" places of their stay. So, most often the anomaly develops on the neck, underarms and on the back. Very rarely the additional organ is able to appear on the genitals.

Often the reason lies in the incorrect development of mammary glands. This is due to problems with development. This process begins in the sixth week of development. Usually by 10 weeks, all the extra "growths" are eliminated on their own, as a result, there are only two mammary glands in the place where they should be. But, in some cases, the elimination does not happen.

Symptoms of the additional mammary glands under the arm

Symptoms are exclusively visualized. But, it is worth noting that this pathology can also be painful. In some cases, a woman develops a complex. After all, it affects her psychological state, and brings a lot of inconvenience. This leads to fears and not love for one's own body.

The additional organs are characterized by a three-dimensional shape. In some cases, they have a nipple. Sometimes the neoplasm has a special shape or is similar to the ordinary mammary gland. Usually the place of its location is in the armpit.

A few days before the onset of menstruation, the anomaly may vary considerably in volume. Before the breast often increases. As for the additional body, it follows its example. During and after pregnancy, breast milk may even be excreted from it.

This anomaly is not an oncology. But, to exclude the possibility of its "transformation" into a malignant one is not worth it. Such cases did occur. The danger of development of oncology persists in those people whose additional organs are constantly traumatized, for example, by clothing.

Additional lobule of the mammary gland under the mouse

The habitual habitat for this anomaly is an additional lobe. Sometimes, the place of dislocation is on other sites, but this one is most pronounced. It is worth noting that far from all cases this breast has something in common with the main one.

Under the arm, the neoplasm occurs in almost 6% of all cases. The growth takes its course from the embryo embryo. This process lasts throughout the dairy line. Eight kinds of anomalies are distinguished. Half of them do not contain glandular tissue. But despite this, it has quite a full nipple. Experts do not consider these anomalies dangerous for life. Yes, it is a neoplasm, but not malignant and can not go into such a form. True, this issue has not been thoroughly studied.

Women with an accessory gland agree to an operation. Such a decision they take because of the constant discomfort. The presence of this organ weighs them and causes a number of complexes. After all, in many cases, additional iron interferes with normal existence and creates a number of inconveniences.

Considering the anomaly on the X-ray, you can see a low-intensity zone, usually it is darkened. In general, it is surrounded by special fibers.

Diagnostics of the additional mammary glands under the arm

Diagnosis involves several basic methods. The visual method allows you to examine the chest for an anomaly. Make it simple. Sometimes, the nipple has a poor development, and it can easily be confused with a mole. If the patient is complete, then the additional fraction is differentiated from lipomas or cysts.

Additional laboratory studies, as well as instrumental techniques are appointed if there is a suspicion of the development of a pathological process. This examination is carried out before the appointment of a quality treatment of anomalies. You can start it with the advice of a mammologist. If there are violations of a gynecological nature, then you will have to visit a gynecologist, you can go to an appointment with a surgeon-gynecologist.

Some studies help to assess the main features of the glands, what functions they perform, whether they have any inflammatory processes. These methods include ultrasound, computer tomography and MRI.

Ultrasound is the most qualitative and effective method of diagnosis. This technique allows to detect the development of neoplasms, which are located both on the surface and deep under the skin. In addition, it is ultrasound that makes it possible to find significant differences between different formations in the organs. It can be a cyst or mastitis. The study should be conducted exclusively in the first phase of the cycle.

Computer tomography is a method of obtaining an X-ray photograph. Thanks to him, the specialist receives not only a high-quality picture, but also sees the state of the body layer by layer. This allows you to identify all the small details and see possible pathologies.

MRI of the mammary glands is a method similar in some ways to computed tomography. True, in this case X-ray radiation is not carried out. Evaluation of this study is necessary for making a decision regarding further treatment, including surgical intervention.

Treatment of the additional mammary glands under the arm

Treatment can only be surgical. Eliminate promptly a neoplasm is not necessary. It does not carry danger. But women decide on surgery because education prevents them from living a full life. Mostly, psychological problems arise. There is a desire to remove discomfort education.

Plastic surgery with a complete removal of the "build-up" is recommended to be done only if a strong cosmetic defect is observed. To serve as the cause of removal may be a constant soreness, as well as a violation of functionality. Indications for the use of a surgical method may be heredity. In this case, we mean the presence of malignant breast tumors in one of the relatives.

Surgical intervention is a correction of liposuction. I mean, the neoplasm simply "sucks." If this technique is not possible, the build-up is removed, and the skin tissues are sutured. The technique depends entirely on the size and structure of the accessory gland. If the formation is large, and consists partly of adipose tissue, then incision is not more than 5 mm and pumped out the layer of fat. Sometimes the incision is done much more. In some cases, the removal of skin over the abnormal gland is required.

Surgery lasts about an hour. The patient can be sent home the same day, because in this case, local anesthesia is used. Sutures are removed one week after removal. There are no special recommendations regarding behavior after the operation.

After a surgical procedure, a scar remains, but since it is located in the armpit, it is invisible. Therefore, it will not create any inconvenience. After the operation, a woman can live a full life.

Prevention

Prevention of additional mammary glands under the arm is impossible in principle. To monitor this process or do something to prevent it is not possible. After all, as mentioned above, this is an ordinary anomaly. Nothing influences its development. The only factor can serve as hormonal failure or heredity. To do something about this is impossible.

Adolescence, the onset of the menstrual cycle, pregnancy - all this takes place with the participation of a large number of hormones. You can not prevent these processes, unless the latter. So the only way to get rid of the problem is simply to remove the tumor.

There is nothing terrible or dangerous in this procedure. It's just an operation and that's all. Then a woman can live without much discomfort. If there is no desire, you can leave it as it is. But, it is worth repeating again, it is impossible to prevent the appearance of this tumor.

Forecast

The prognosis of additional mammary glands under the arm entirely depends on whether the woman is worried about it or not. In any case, leaving the anomaly without attention is not necessary. Any defect can lead to negative consequences.

If the patient does not want to resort to removal, then she must constantly undergo a medical examination. For this, visual inspection is performed and ultrasound is performed. This will control the growth and structure of abnormal education.

It is mandatory to remove additional organs if they are susceptible to permanent trauma. This is due to clothing, pressing limbs, etc. Permanent trauma can lead to malignant new education, which entails a number of complications.

After all is removed, it is possible to predict a favorable current. The appearance of this anomaly can not be called rare. It is important that the problem is correctly diagnosed, and the degree of danger is adequately assessed. After that, the question of further treatment with surgical removal is decided.
