Why can chest? Real reviews:
Maria:
A few years ago I was diagnosed with fibrous mastopathy. Then I turned to a doctor with complaints about very strong pain, and this pain was not localized in the milk glands themselves, but in the axillary depressions and blades. On the primary inspection, the gynecologist groped in the glands of the nodes, sent to mammography. In the process of treatment, I was performed by the ultrasound of the mammary glands, puncture of nodes in the breast. Treatment took place in several stages, among the gynecologist. At the very beginning, I passed a course of anti-inflammatory treatment, as I also suffered from Salpingitis and an ooforitis. Then I was appointed hormonal therapy using oral contraceptives. As the doctor said, the development of mastopathy could affect the reception of oral contraceptives of the old generation, with a high content of hormones.
Hope:
Mastopathy was diagnosed to me at 33 years old, and since then I am under the constant supervision of my gynecologist. Every year I did the ultrasound of the mammary glands, a year ago the doctor offered me to make mammography. All these years I was disturbed by very strong chest pain, which were most well shown in front of menstruation. After the mammography, I was appointed a comprehensive treatment, which immediately facilitated my state – I forgot what chest pain is. Currently, nothing bothers me, the doctor appointed me a control reception only in six months.
Elena:
Throughout life, I did not disturb the pain in the breast, although sometimes I felt the unpleasant feeling and tingling before menstruation. But last year I felt at first a small one, and then intensifying pain in the left breast, which was first accepted for pain in the heart. Turning to the therapist, I have passed the examination, received a consultation of the cardiologist – did not reveal anything, sent me to the gynecologist, a mammologist. After passing research on cancer markers, ultrasound of the mammary glands, I was sent to the regional oncological clinic of the city of Chelyabinsk. After biopsy, additional studies, I had a breast cancer (tumor 3 cm. in diameter, with fuzzy boundaries). As a result of half a year ago, I was taken away with one dairy gland, which was amazed by oncology, I passed courses of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. At this time, I am on treatment, but the last examination did not reveal new cancer cells, which is already a victory.
Natalia:
I have been married for two years, there was no abortion, there are no children yet. About a year ago I suffered a gynecological disease – Salpingitis with Pyosalpinse. Treatment took in hospital, conservative. A month after treatment, pain symptoms in the left breast began to be felt. The pain was stupid, novel, with the return to the axillary region. The gynecologist did not find anything, but sent to the mammologist. I passed the ultrasound, there was no pathology in the breast, and the pains periodically arose. I was diagnosed «intercostal neuralgia. Treatment: Mastodinon, Milgama, Nimesil, Gordius. The pain has become much weaker – sometimes I feel tension in the chest for a week before menstruation, but it quickly passes. The doctor advised me to swim by swimming, do charging, therapeutic physical education.
