Which department should I go to for breast cancer treatment?

If women's breasts are not protected, they are prone to breast nodules and other diseases. Once breast diseases are discovered, they should be treated as soon as possible. If they are ignored, they are likely to be delayed into breast cancer, which is very dangerous. There are many types of departments in hospitals, each responsible for different diseases. Many people do not know whether they should go to the obstetrics and gynecology department or the internal medicine department for breast diseases when they go to the hospital for examination. So which department should they go to for breast problems?

The establishment of breast disease departments in different hospitals in different regions varies. In the outpatient clinic, we often encounter patients who think that breast diseases belong to gynecological diseases, so they go to the gynecology department to register, but are unable to receive treatment. Usually, more formal and large-scale tertiary hospitals will have special breast surgery or thyroid and breast surgery departments. Most people who have breast problems will go to the thyroid surgery department or breast surgery department. For some lower-level regional hospitals, there may not be a separate thyroid and breast surgery department, so you can consider going to the general surgery department for treatment.

Once breast disease is diagnosed, the most timely and effective treatment should be taken. The current principles of treating this disease are to eliminate the cause, reduce recurrence, and improve survival rate and quality of life. Generally, symptomatic treatment is the main treatment, and patients with severe conditions require surgical treatment. Nowadays, the most common method of treating breast disease is microbial therapy, which causes less damage to the patient's body. No matter which treatment method is chosen, the patient needs to actively cooperate with the doctor and face it positively, so that good results can be achieved.

In order to treat the disease more accurately, it is also necessary to clarify the cause of the disease. It is generally believed that the disease is caused by chronic inflammation, drug stimulation, surgical injury, incorrect living habits, hormone imbalance, external stimulation, genetic and nutritional deficiencies, and autoimmune diseases.

The most prominent symptoms in the early stages of breast disease are fever and chills. Nodules may be felt in the breast, and the breast may become red, swollen, and painful, with nipple discharge. When the patient's condition progresses to a certain extent, nodules with smooth surfaces will appear. The nodules are relatively hard in texture, grow very fast, have good mobility, and are relatively soft in texture. Patients with severe conditions will develop painless nodules, their skin will also experience ulceration and bleeding, consolidation, and wrinkling, and their nipples will also become sunken, which will have a certain impact on the patient's health.

Breast disease has a certain tendency to become cancerous and is very dangerous. Therefore, it is particularly important to actively prevent this type of disease. Women must cultivate a healthy lifestyle awareness, learn to massage the breasts, and choose underwear that is breathable, preferably made of pure cotton. Breastfeeding women need to learn the correct breastfeeding posture and pay attention to breast hygiene. You should strengthen your nutritional supplements, avoid eating irritating foods, and never smoke or drink. You should control your mood and not stay up late, so as to reduce the incidence of breast disease.
