Have you ever been so sorry that you didn’t do something? People really are more often worried about missed opportunities than about mistakes made. Especially when it comes to health.
Why "go to the doctors"
A typical situation: a woman with pain in the mammary glands comes to the mammologist, she is examined, and she hears an unpleasant diagnosis. And the doctor regrets: "Well, if you came to me six months earlier, the treatment would be much simpler." Sad, sad? And how! Indeed, many diseases respond well to therapy in the initial stage, and then everything is greatly complicated. Such diseases include mastopathy.
The first signs of mastopathy:
- pain in the chest;
- swelling of the chest, engorgement;
- discharge from the nipple.
According to statistics, every second woman has mastopathy. And the older, the higher the risk. But the problem is that women often perceive its initial stage as a variant of the norm: "breasts ache before menstruation - the usual PMS." The line between physiological discomfort at the beginning of the cycle and the first signs of mastopathy is thin. And requires a consultation with a doctor. This is why there is a prevention rule:
- At least 1 time per year visiting a mammologist;
- up to 35−40 years of prophylactic ultrasound of the mammary glands;
- after 40−45 - the annual mammographic examination.
Mastopathy: who is at risk
You need to be especially careful about breast health if you:
- there were cases of mastopathy in the family along the female line;
- you did not give birth or the first child was after 30 years;
- you had an interrupted pregnancy;
- you did not breast-feed at least six months;
- you have excess weight, diabetes; high blood pressure;
- you take hormonal drugs.
How is the initial stage of mastopathy treated
The good news is that if the first signs of mastopathy are not missed, the treatment will be sparing and the prognosis optimistic. Often, mammologists in such cases prescribe the drug Mastodinon®. This is a well-proven drug. It has a completely plant composition - no hormones. But unlike, for example, dietary supplements, it has been thoroughly tested in clinical trials.
After 6 weeks, the patient feels relief: the discomfort and heaviness in the chest disappears, and overall health at the beginning of the menstrual cycle improves. But here is another catch: there is a temptation to stop therapy: after all, “everything has passed” ...
Why you can not give up treatment
Herbal medicine does not work quickly: you need to smoothly restore the disturbed hormonal balance. Therefore, the course of application of Mastodinon® is designed for 3 months. Only in this case can we talk about a stable improvement. If you quit treatment at the first positive changes, then the return of the disease is almost inevitable.
It often happens that a woman who quit therapy halfway is generally disappointed in the possibility of curing mastopathy. He begins to ignore the symptoms of the development of the disease.And in this situation, mastopathy can go into a more severe stage and even become the background for the development of oncology.
"Examine yourself and stay healthy!"
This is the name of the program that teaches women self-examination of the breast. It is supported by Bionorica CE, a manufacturer of Mastodinon®. The program includes simple and effective techniques that allow any woman at home to identify the first signs of mastopathy in order to consult a doctor in time for help. Or make sure your chest is healthy.
