Gynaecomastia
As
the name suggests, gynaecomastia refers to an abnormal enlargement of the male
breasts.
Normally, men tend to have some amount of breast tissue, which
increases in proportion to overall body fat. An obese person will hence have
more breast tissue, compared to a thin individual.
Gynaecomastia becomes a problem when it starts interfering with a
person’s body image, making him uncomfortable around his peers, while swimming,
gymming or may interfere with his relationship with his spouse or fiancee..
This condition may be secondary to several causes, or may be
completely idiopathic (cause unknown).
In either case, we may need to perform a few tests, to come to a
diagnosis.
More often than not, gynaecomastia is idiopathic ie, the exact
cause is unknown.
Sometimes, it may be secondary to long term medications, hormonal
disturbances, or less commonly, testicular tumors. In such cases, the cause
needs to be treated first.
In idiopathic gynaecomastia, surgical treatment is very successful
and extremely satisfying. It is often performed as a day care procedure and the
recovery is generally very quick.
However, care should be taken that the person continues to be
physically active post surgery and maintains his weight, in order to prevent a
recurrence.

Mastitis
An
increasing number of women in their late 30s and early 40s are presenting to me
with mastitis. Very often, these ladies have received treatment with no results
or have undergone abscess drainage following mastitis with recurrent symptoms.
One needs to
know what mastitis really means.
Mastitis
refers to any inflammation in the breast.
It is
generally unilateral and may or may not be associated with the typical signs
accompanying an inflammation, such as redness, fever or malaise.
Pain and swelling
are the only findings. Sometimes, a patient may have these symptoms occurring
insidiously over quite some time, with some relief after taking medicines.
Mastitis may
be infective (less common) or non infective (more common).
Infective
mastitis requires antibiotics and abscess drainage if there is pus formation.
If the pus
culture shows tuberculosis, then anti- tuberculosis therapy has to be started.
Newer tests,
like the Gene- expert test for tuberculosis is helping us in improving our
diagnostic capabilities.
In non
infective mastitis, a biopsy may be required along with the other
microbiological tests to rule out infective etiology.
Idiopathic
granulomatous mastitis (IGM)
This
difficult term is used to denote an even more difficult problem to treat.
IGM is a
diagnosis of exclusion, once we have ruled out all other causative factors.
The
diagnosis is solely based on the pathology findings which is similar to that
seen in tuberculosis, minus the hallmark findings of tuberculosis (caseation
necrosis and acid fast bacilli).
The
treatment of IGM is quite different as well. To simply put it, IGM is a
condition where there is chronic inflammation in the absence of an infective
agent, similar to some autoimmune diseases.
Treatment of
IGM consists of steroid administration, which may be prolonged.
In some
patients, surgery may be required, especially if there is abscess formation.
The
treatment is often long drawn and requires a lot of patience and compliance.
Inadequate treatment can often lead to recurrence, which may be even more
difficult to treat.

Male breast cancer
Recently I came across and treated a male patient suffering from
breast cancer.
That spurred me into writing this post.
The occurrence of breast cancer is well known in women; men
rarely suffer from the disease. However, we do encounter a couple of cases
every year.
Male breast cancer, just as in women, often presents with a slow
growing lump, which is initially painless and hence ignored.
Men do not have a lot of breast tissue, hence the tumour tends to invade and involve the skin and/ or the chest wall earlier. And that’s why male breast cancers tend to fare worse than female breast cancers.
Men do not have a lot of breast tissue, hence the tumour tends to invade and involve the skin and/ or the chest wall earlier. And that’s why male breast cancers tend to fare worse than female breast cancers.
The diagnosis and treatment of the condition is the same as in
women, involving a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy for diagnosis.
Treatment involves removal of the entire breast tissue along
with the axillary lymph nodes ( Modified Radical Mastectomy). The need for
Adjuvant Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy and Hormone therapy is based upon the
histopathology report.
If treated in time, men have also been found to fare just as
well as women.

Breast Pain
Breast
pain ( mastalgia) is one of the commonest issues in women of all ages. It can
happen to anyone and at any age. It may or may not be associated with breast
tenderness: mastodynia ( pain on touching or palpating the breast).
Both these terms (mastalgia and mastodynia) are different,
but they address the same problem. Breast pain may or may not be associated
with a lump as well. It is important to note that breast pain is not
commonly associated with breast cancer.
If you have breast pain, a complete history and a thorough
clinical examination are important in diagnosing the cause and prescribing the
correct treatment.
Your doctor may want to know many details, which you may
feel awkward or unnecessary, but these are important nonetheless. Breast pain
is commonly seen in women aged 20-40 years, but as I stated before, no age is
exempt. The pain may be cyclical, ( waxing and waning in relation to the
menstrual cycle) or non cyclical. There may also be associated tenderness and
heaviness, especially with cyclical mastalgia. You may be asked to maintain a
breast pain diary, to record the intensity of the pain, your levels of stress
and your periods. This diary helps in analysing the pain better. Apart from
this, a mammogram and ultrasound of the breast may also be advised as part of
the evaluation.
Treatment:
The most important bit: treatment of breast pain is entirely
released to understanding the cause of the pain.
Most women will have normal examination and mammogram
findings. In such women, breast pain is commonly attributed to these causes:
- Stress
- Ill fitting bras
- Inadequate water intake
- Essential fatty acid deficiency
Important fact: breasts have a lot of sensory nerve endings,
hence they respond to stress…
Stress often triggers and worsens breast pain.
Stress is the most common underlying factor in most women
complaining of breast pain.
Meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga are very helpful
in this regard.
Ill fitting bras are something a lot of women tend to
neglect.
A well fitting bra or a sports bra will often give dramatic
relief.
Plenty of oral fluids are recommended, as we do not realise
our dehydrated status because of working in closed environments.
Some women also benefit from intake of evening primrose oil,
which contains Gamma linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid.
Bottomline:
Most women with breast pain do not have cancer. But, a
thorough evaluation is required to rule out the possibly.
Most often, reassurance, a few lifestyle changes and very
rarely medicines are all that are required to treat the niggling problem.
