Bilateral mammary duct enlargement

Bilateral widening of the mammary ducts is a symptom of ductitis, which can cause acne-like mastitis in the breasts. It is a common disease among middle-aged women and requires treatment such as incision and drainage. Moreover, this disease will recover after treatment, so female friends need to take good care of their breasts. The following is an introduction to the treatment methods for bilateral breast duct widening. You can take a look.

Plasma cell mastitis, abbreviated as plasma cell or ductitis, is also called duct ectasia, and is called comedonal mastitis in traditional Chinese medicine. It is the most common non-bacterial inflammation in the non-lactating period. Over the past few years, we have cured more than 160 cases through surgery, which shows that this disease is not uncommon. However, many people, even some surgeons, do not recognize this disease and treat it as a common small abscess. They perform repeated incisions and drainage. The wounds simply do not heal, or they become repeatedly red and swollen, spontaneously rupture, and form fistulas. Finally, the breasts become riddled with holes, the nipples become inverted, and become twisted and deformed.

The diagnosis can be confirmed by X-ray breast ductography, fine needle aspiration cytology of the tumor, and pathological examination after tumor removal.

1. Women should have regular breast examinations every year to achieve early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.

Prognosis:

Mammary duct ectasia is a benign disease with a slow course and prone to recurrence, and has no obvious relationship with breast cancer.
