What is Mastopathy?
A condition where a painful lump forms in the breast due to imbalances in female hormone levels, causing symptoms to occur before and during menstruation.
Typical Symptoms of Mastopathy
- Breast lumps
- Headache with electric shock-like pain
- Inappropriate milk production e.g. not pregnant or with recent childbirth, or as a male
- Left-sided chest pain
- Pain when pressing on the breast
- Difference in nipple heights or appearance of the breast/s such as a dimpled area
- Smooth, round and movable lump under the skin
- Right sided chest pain
Diagnostic Questions for Mastopathy
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you noticed any lumps in your breasts?
- Are you experiencing electric shock-like pain during your headaches?
- Are you producing breast milk without being pregnant or giving birth, or if you are a man?
- Do you have pain on the left side of your chest?
- Does pressing on your breast cause pain?
Treatment of Mastopathy
This condition may improve without treatment. Meanwhile, medications and hormone treatment can be given to alleviate pain. Sometimes, it is caused by diabetes, and maintaining good blood sugar levels may help prevent its recurrence.
