WHAT DISEASES DOES THE MAMMOLOGIST TREAT?
A mammologist is a doctor who deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the mammary glands. The help of this specialist may be required for both women and men, however, the fair sex is more at risk of developing breast pathologies. If you need advice from an experienced mammologist, contact the DOCTOR 52 medical center. We offer patients advanced diagnostic and treatment options for breast diseases.
SYMPTOMS WITH WHICH APPLY TO THE MAMMOLOGIST
Women are recommended to conduct self-diagnosis every month, which consists in a visual examination of the breast in front of a mirror and probing the tissues for lumps and pain. Self-examination is best done within a week after your period. A consultation with a mammologist is required if the patient has:
change in the size or shape of the breast/nipple;
lumps or nodules under the skin;
pain or swelling in the breast area;
unusual discharge from the nipple;
redness or sores on the skin of the chest;
retraction of one nipple;
enlarged axillary lymph nodes, etc.
Even if self-diagnosis shows no change, we recommend that women visit a mammologist every year for a professional preventive examination. A doctor's consultation is also required in the following cases:
you are going to have hormone therapy;
you are planning a pregnancy or have had an abortion;
you have received any chest injury;
you will have plastic surgery on the mammary glands, etc.
Men should contact a mammologist:
with the appearance of pain in the chest;
with swelling, enlargement, seals of the mammary glands;
with the appearance of discharge from the nipples;
upon detection of hematomas or non-healing wounds on the skin of the chest;
with atypical bulge or retraction of the nipple, etc.
DIAGNOSIS METHODS:
Laboratory research. They allow to clarify the nature of neoplasms found in the mammary glands, as well as to diagnose inflammatory processes in tissues.
ultrasound. Ultrasound examination of the mammary glands can be performed almost without restrictions due to its safety and painlessness. With the help of ultrasound, neoplasms in the tissues can be detected and their location determined. The best time to conduct a study is before ovulation, that is, 5-12 days after menstruation with a 28-day cycle and 7-14 days with a longer cycle.
Mammography. This method of X-ray diagnostics allows you to detect neoplasms at the earliest stages. With the help of the examination, it is possible to identify cysts, fibroadenomas, calcifications, mastopathy and other pathologies. Mammography, like other methods of radiation diagnostics, is quick and painless, and does not require any preliminary preparation from the patient.
