Mastopathy is one of the most common benign tumors in women. The manifestations of mastopathy and its danger largely depend on the form of the process. Diffuse fibrocystic breast cancer is most common. And one of the forms of such mastopathy - sclerosing adenosis of the breast - is potentially potentially dangerous.
Diagnosed sclerosing adenosis increases the risk of breast cancer by almost 7 times compared with other types of mastopathy.
Features of fibrosclerosis of the mammary gland
Sclerosing adenosis occurs in 5% of women between the ages of 20 and 40 who have mastopathy. The disease develops by the growth of connective cells in the epithelial tissue of the mammary gland, which are then subjected to fibrous degeneration. The processes of tissue replacement in fibrosclerosis are accompanied by the formation of calcinates.
The limited form of sclerosing adenosis is characterized by nodular localization, and diffuse - by the development of multiple small foci of tumors.
The presence of calcification in the breast tissue of fibrosclerosis often leads to the fact that in mammography pictures this disease can be confused with the initial stage of invasive breast cancer.
Treatment of sclerosing adenosis of the breast
Since fibrosclerosis of the breast is the background for the development of cancer, the patient must be under strict medical supervision. Most often, fibrosclerotic tissues are not removed, but wait and see tactics.
As a treatment it is recommended:
- to reveal and eliminate all gynecological pathologies (cycle disorders, inflammatory processes in the small pelvis);
- normalize the ratio of hormones in the body;
- to correct endocrine problems;
- long-term use of sedatives;
- to establish a diet based on a low-fat diet and the absence of harmful foods;
- regularly engage in physical activity.
