Breast and Diseases

The breast is a gland formed by the exchange of armpit sweat glands. Its main task is to produce the milk necessary for the child's nutrition. These are prolactin and oxytocin hormones that are necessary for milk secretion.

Hardness felt in the breast is called a mass in medicine. In benign diseases of the breast, the hardness that can be felt will generally be appropriate since the disease does not spread beyond the tissue in which it is located.

Breast enlargement in men is a condition in which the factors that cause breast tissue growth cannot be easily detected. This condition is called "gynecomastia". Another condition that can be called false gynecomastia is "adipomastia", which occurs with age and increase in fatness, and should be distinguished from gynecomastia.

In our country, breast cancer in men is a disease that is 1% rarer than breast cancer in women. Especially situations where the estrogen hormone increases trigger breast cancer in men as well as women.

Although they are benign, they are structures that have the possibility of becoming cancerous because they contain an excessive increase in cells.

Breast Self-Examination: Starting from the age of 15, breast self-examination should be performed every month at every age. The patient should memorize the expected breast structure and consult a physician when she notices a change in breast tissue.

Breast cancer can spread as a result of genetic predisposition, especially excessive secretion of estrogen and progesterone. It is a condition of excessive and uncontrollable proliferation of capable degenerate cells.

Lumpectomy + Axillary Sampling: Surgical removal of only the mass along with the surrounding tissue. We only perform this procedure for benign diseases.

The chance of breast cancer recurring is especially in the first 2 years. If there is to be a recurrence, research shows that 80% of the recurrence occurs within the first 2 years.

Factors that ensure the growth of the child and structural changes in the mother during pregnancy can also accelerate the cellular activities of breast cancer.
