Introduction

Breast health plays a crucial aspect of a woman’s overall well-being. Early detection of breast abnormalities plays a vital role in improving the outcomes and reducing the risks associated with it. Regular self breast examination and screening tests like mammography can help in identifying issues at an early stage. Common conditions affecting the breast include benign (non-cancerous) lumps like fibroadenomas, fibroadenosis, breast cyst and more severe concerns such as breast carcinoma. Understanding these conditions and their symptoms is essential for timely diagnosis and appropriate intervention.

Most Common Breast Conditions:

Fibroadenoma: Commonly encountered benign breast condition in young females, which is freely movable lump in breast.
Fibroadenosis: Common cause of cyclical breast pain with nodularity (palpable vague lump) in females of reproductive age group. It is an estrogen hormone dependent condition.
Breast Abscess: It is an inflammatory (infective) condition seen in lactating women.
Phyllodes Tumor: This is rare tumor with wide spectrum ranging from benign condition to malignant.
Breast Cancer: It is the most common cancer in women. Timely diagnosis and treatment can give long survival outcomes with less complications and better cosmetic results.

When is Breast Surgery Needed?

Breast surgery becomes necessary when clinical symptoms or diagnostic imaging suggest a potentially serious condition. Symptoms warranting surgical evaluation include enlarging lump, persistent breast pain, nipple discharge, or visible changes in the skin or nipple. Abnormal findings on a mammogram, such as calcifications or asymmetrical tissue, may also require a biopsy or surgical removal. Surgery is often advised when there is a strong suspicion of malignancy or when benign conditions cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns.

Surgical Approaches & Recovery

Type of surgery is based on type of presentation and disease. Incision and Drainage is done in case of infective pathology like Breast Abscess. A lumpectomy is preferred in small tumors involves removing only the lump and a small margin of surrounding tissue, preserving most of the breast. A mastectomy involves the complete removal of one or both breasts, often recommended for larger tumors or multiple growths.

Recovery varies by procedure but typically includes wound care, pain management, and physical therapy. Most patients can resume normal activities within weeks, though full recovery may take longer, especially after mastectomy or reconstructive surgery.
