Some women experience pain or pain in the breasts because of the hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle. Although breast pain is uncommon, it is not unheard of.
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 cancer is a cancer that forms in the glandular tissue of the breast. It develops in the lining cells epithelium of the tubes (85%) or lobules (15%). The malignant development is initially contained inside the duct or lobule ("in situ"), where it often exhibits no signs or symptoms and has a low chance of spreading (metastasis).
Gynecomastia is the benign enlargement of male breast tissue. It is a common condition affecting up to 65% of men aged 50 to 69 years old and 4% to 69% of adolescent boys with the highest prevalence occurring in boys aged 14 to 15 years old.
A breast abscess is a localized collection of pus within the breast tissue. It typically occurs due to a bacterial infection, most commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The breast abscess can develop in any part of the breast, but it often forms near the areola or nipple. Incidence and prevalence of breast abscesses can vary depending on various factors, including geographical location, population demographics, access to healthcare, and underlying risk factors.
Breast fat necrosis is a benign condition that occurs when fatty tissue in the breast becomes damaged, leading to the formation of firm lumps. This damage may be caused by trauma, surgery, radiation therapy, or an infection, and results in the death of fat cells, which are then replaced by scar tissue. While breast fat necrosis is not cancerous, it can sometimes mimic the symptoms of breast cancer, such as lumps, skin dimpling, or nipple retraction, leading to concern.
