Conditions Treated By The Department

• Small Breast: It is called micromastia. The breasts single or both do not develop fully during puberty due to genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, and certain syndromes like Turner syndrome. Mild to moderate but equal change in both breasts can be a normal variation, not necessarily indicating any health issues.
• Large Breast Size: Also known as macromastia, can arise due to  hormonal changes, genetics, obesity, or during pregnancy and lactation. It  leads to significant physical discomfort  showing as back and neck pain, skin irritation, and psychological and social  distress, impacting quality of life.
• Sagging Breasts: Also known as breast ptosis, commonly occurs with ageing, post-pregnancy, after significant weight loss  due to gravity's effects. Hormonal changes, genetics, and lifestyle factors also contribute. It is important due to physical discomfort and psychological affects on self-esteem.
• Nipple Inversion: Here nipples are turned inward instead of outward.It can be a congenital condition or result from changes due to ageing, breastfeeding, or infections. It's usually harmless but can sometimes indicate underlying medical issues, including breast cancer.
• Nipple Discharge: It can arise from various causes, including hormonal changes, benign tumors, infection, or as a side effect of medications. While often not serious, persistent or bloody discharge should be evaluated by a healthcare professional as it may indicate breast cancer.
• Breast Pain: Also known as mastalgia, often results from hormonal fluctuations, particularly during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause. Other causes include breast cysts, stress, ill-fitting bras, and certain medications. While usually benign, persistent pain should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
• Breast Lumps: It can be caused by cysts, fibroadenomas, or infections. All lumps should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out breast cancer.
• Gynecomastia: It is the enlargement of breast tissue in males, often due to hormonal imbalances, obesity, certain medications, or medical conditions. It can affect one or both breasts, sometimes causing pain or social embarrassment, and may require medical evaluation and treatment.
• Breast Cysts: These are fluid-filled sacs within the breast, often resulting from hormonal changes. They're typically benign but can cause discomfort or concern. Regular monitoring and, in some cases, aspiration or removal, might be recommended to manage symptoms or for diagnostic purposes.

Common Procedures

• Breast Augmentation: A surgical procedure to enhance breast size and shape, typically involves implants or fat transfer. It's chosen for cosmetic reasons or post-mastectomy reconstruction. It requires careful consideration of risks, potential complications, and expectations regarding the outcome.
• Breast Reduction Surgery: Aimed at reducing breast size to alleviate discomfort from overly large breasts, involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. It can relieve physical symptoms like back pain and improve proportions, enhancing comfort and self-confidence.
• Breast Lift: Also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. It's often sought after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or ageing to restore a more youthful breast contour.
• Nipple Eversion Surgery: The procedure corrects inverted nipples, bringing them outward. It's usually a cosmetic procedure but can also aid in breastfeeding. The surgery involves releasing fibrous tissues and milk ducts, with minimal risks and is often performed under local anaesthesia.
• Breast Reconstruction Surgery: It restores the breast's appearance following mastectomy or lumpectomy, often due to cancer. It can involve implants or tissue from other body parts. The goal is to recreate a natural-looking breast, improving psychological well-being and body image.
• Mastectomy: It is the surgical removal of one or both breasts, typically performed to treat or prevent breast cancer. Variations include total, partial, or radical mastectomy, depending on the cancer's extent. It's a significant decision with physical and emotional implications.
