Axillary breast pain

You cannot sit idly by if you have pain in your accessory breast under your armpit. You must go to the hospital immediately for relevant examinations so that you can determine the cause of your condition and prescribe the right medicine. Never use drugs indiscriminately for treatment, and do not take too many painkillers. These drugs will cause some harm to your body. If there is a possibility of cancer, you should pay more attention to adjustment.

Accessory breast is a congenital abnormal development of tissue. In addition to affecting the appearance, it also has the chance of developing breast malignant tumors. Therefore, surgical removal is recommended. The accessory breast removal surgery includes the removal of the accessory breast gland, excess fat tissue and skin, followed by the application of pressure bandage. Especially those who have the following conditions should undergo surgery as soon as possible:

1. It is clear that there is a tumor or malignant transformation in the accessory breast;

2. Symptoms such as distension and pain are obvious with the changes in the menstrual cycle;

3. Obvious accessory breasts seriously affect social activities and quality of life.

Accessory breast surgery is the removal of accessory breasts through surgery. Methods for removing accessory breasts include accessory breast removal and accessory breast liposuction. Axillary mastectomy usually involves making an incision in the axillary fold and removing adenoid tissue and excess skin to smooth the area. Accessory breast liposuction surgery uses liposuction technology to suck out the inter-glandular fat of the accessory breast and destroy the accessory breast glands to achieve the purpose of making the area smooth.

A rubber drainage tube and negative pressure absorption are placed on the wound surface of accessory mastectomy to facilitate the growth of the skin flap. After 72 hours, the drainage tube will be removed based on the drainage volume. If the tube is removed prematurely, subcutaneous fluid and blood accumulation will occur.

For the treatment of accessory breast cancer, the excision range during accessory breast removal is at least five centimeters away from the edge of the tumor, and the muscle tissue is removed at the same time, and the ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes are cleared. Other treatments are the same as those for tumors.

Accessory mastectomy is performed under continuous epidural anesthesia or intravenous anesthesia, and only a few are performed under local anesthesia. Local anesthesia is not conducive to electrosurgical free flap, nor is it conducive to distinguishing fat and accessory breast tissue.

The choice of incision should take into account aesthetics and concealment. For the accessory breast in front of the armpit, an oblique fusiform incision is chosen at the outer edge of the pectoralis major muscle. This way, the patient cannot see the surgical scar when wearing a vest after the accessory breast removal. The tension on the incision is less when the upper limb on the affected side moves, which is conducive to the healing of the incision and the movement of the upper limb. Make an oblique fusiform incision on the lateral edge of the pectoralis major muscle or on the surface of the axillary mass. After complete excision, place a rubber drainage tube and perform negative pressure suction on the wound. The tube was removed after seventy-two hours.

Accessory breasts have no capsule. During accessory breast removal surgery, the skin flap should be freed to the edge of the mass, and the excision range should be sufficient to ensure the effectiveness of the surgical treatment. The accessory breast tissue is removed en bloc to prevent recurrence. The anterior axillary accessory breast should be removed to the outer edge of the pectoralis major fascia and the bottom should reach the deep subcutaneous fascia. The axillary accessory breast extends from the pectoralis major muscle in front to the posterior edge of the axilla, and the bottom also reaches the deep subcutaneous fascia.
