Mammologist: Breast Health Under Control
Mammologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the breast. This is one of the key medical specialties aimed at maintaining women's health. Breast health is not only an important aspect of overall well-being but also the key to psychological comfort and confidence.
The Importance of Mammology for Health
The breast is a complex organ, subject to various changes throughout a woman's life. Hormonal fluctuations associated with the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, lactation, and menopause can cause both natural and pathological changes in breast tissue.
Among the most common problems:
- Mastopathy — benign changes in breast tissue.
- Cysts — fluid-filled formations that may cause discomfort.
- Fibroadenomas — benign tumors that often require observation or removal.
- Lactation Disorders — problems with breastfeeding related to milk stasis or inflammation.
- Breast Cancer — the most serious disease, requiring early detection and a comprehensive treatment approach.
Regular visits to the mammologist and preventive screenings such as breast ultrasound or mammography play a crucial role in preventing serious diseases.
When to See a Mammologist?
It is recommended to visit a mammologist at least once a year, even if you have no complaints. However, there are situations where an immediate appointment with a specialist is necessary:
- You have noticed lumps in the breast or under the armpit.
- You experience pain or discomfort in the breasts.
- You notice changes in the shape or size of the breast.
- There is discharge from the nipples, especially bloody discharge.
- Redness, peeling, or retraction of the skin on the breast.
- There are problems with lactation.
Women over 40 should especially consider regular mammograms, as this method allows detecting changes in breast tissue at the earliest stages.
