Common symptoms of benign breast disorders, such as fibrocystic breast changes, include breast pain, tenderness, and the presence of lumps or cysts. These symptoms are often associated with hormonal changes and are typically non-cancerous.
Breast cysts are diagnosed through clinical examination, ultrasound, or mammography. Treatment may not be necessary unless the cysts are painful or large, in which case aspiration or surgical removal can be performed. Regular monitoring is recommended.
Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast tissue, often due to infection, characterized by redness, warmth, and pain. A breast abscess is a localized collection of pus within the breast, usually resulting from untreated mastitis, requiring drainage and antibiotics.
