What is mammary duct dilatation?

Before we answer what mammary duct ectasia is, let’s first talk about the disease of mammary duct ectasia. Mammary duct ectasia is a type of breast disease. The cause of this disease is currently unknown and no clear medical explanation can be given.

So, what is mammary duct dilatation? This is a type of breast inflammation, and this condition is also clinically called duct inflammation. This disease is different from mastitis. Mastitis often occurs in lactating women, while this disease is an inflammatory disease that occurs in the non-lactating period.

At present, the disease tends to occur in women aged 40 and above. Especially for women who have reached menopause, this is related to the decline in women’s own immunity. After saying so much, some women may still not be clear about what mammary duct dilatation is.

To sum up, this disease is an inflammatory disease that tends to occur in the bodies of middle-aged and elderly people. Moreover, the symptoms are not obvious in the early stage of the disease, and generally in the later stage it is no longer just a pain problem. Some doctors also believe that this is not a disease, but just a small cyst on the breast that can be removed surgically. This understanding is wrong. Repeated surgery is not conducive to the healing of wounds. It will have a great physical and mental impact on patients.
