Breast is the most common disease of the breast. Breast diagnosed in 40% of women, but unfortunately not all of them are treated with due attention to the disease, do not comply with the recommendation of a doctor and receive treatment. Of course - this is a benign breast disease, but only for the time being. Unfortunately, not all women know about the consequences of mastitis. The most frightening and dangerous complication of the disease is the transition of a benign tumor into a malignant, and quite simply, to breast cancer. In the best case for breast cancer a woman will lose the breast, and at worst - life.

Possible consequences of mastitis

Among the main consequences of mastitis include two events. The first - a recurrence of the disease. Why is that? The fact is that very few engaged in treatment for the diagnosis of mastitis, it is necessary to establish the exact cause of the disease in the first place, to identify hormonal disorders Hormonal disorders: causes and the most frequent disease   in the body. Most often, the development of mastitis provokes thyroid disease Thyroid disease - when to start worrying? And if treatment of mastitis Treatment of mastitis - covers all the mechanisms of disease development   It occurs without appropriate therapy, for example, thyroiditis, the recurrence of the disease more than likely. The second most terrible consequence of mastitis is breast cancer. Most often degenerate into a malignant tumor occurs in the form of nodal disease. Diffuse breast almost ozlokachestvlyaetsya.

Mammary cancer

There are two main forms of breast cancer: invasive and non-invasive. A non-invasive cancer or carcinoma "in situ" is considered an early stage of the disease and is characterized by abnormal cells that give rise to the development process can not penetrate into the surrounding breast tissue. At this stage, the disease can be treated successfully. A non-invasive cancer is generally localized in the duct or lobule of the breast.

Invasive cancer as becomes clear from the name, it invades surrounding breast tissue. This cancer is considered the most dangerous. There are several types of invasive breast cancer:

• ductal or ductal form (the cancer develops in the wall of the milk ducts and eventually affects the surrounding breast tissue);
• lobular or lobular form (in this form of cancer growing in the glandular breast tissue, and then penetrates into the surrounding tissue);
• inflammatory form (rare, occurs as mastitis, a breast redness, pain, fever, inflammatory form is often the subject of diagnostic errors);
• Paget's disease is a cancer of the breast duct, but is characterized by the occurrence of ulcers and / or a change in the form of juice and areola of the breast;
• Other rare forms (mucinous, tubular and a medullary breast cancer).

What are the symptoms of breast cancer

The main symptom of breast cancer is the availability of education in the interior of the breast, which is tight on palpation, painless and motionless, as welded to the surrounding tissues. Also for breast cancer is characterized by the type of puckering lemon peel or skin retraction of the breast. The patient often troubled discomfort or unusual pain in one breast that is not related to menstruation. From the nipple may also change: it becomes thick and swollen, retracted. And, of course, to the signs of cancer include swollen lymph nodes axillary. They are dense, painless, and are soldered to the skin.

Often breast cancer appears only as metastasis (penetration) in the axillary lymph nodes, and to identify the tumor itself is practically impossible. In such cases we speak of hidden during breast cancer. But very attentive women or their husbands can independently detect a breast tumor formation in very small sizes, such as a pea.

Very poor prognostic sign - is the emergence of upper limb edema on the side of the tumor. This shows the distribution of the process, there is swelling in the metastasis of cancer in the axillary lymph nodes. This results in blocking the outflow of blood and lymphatic fluid from the arm and developing lymphedema.
