Mammologist, breast surgeon

A mammologist is a specialist in women's breast health, dedicated to the research, diagnosis, and treatment of various breast diseases, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of tumor processes. They also oversee rehabilitation issues and conduct a comprehensive set of examinations to establish the absence of disease recurrence.

It is important for every woman in adulthood to visit a mammologist regularly. This specialist monitors the health of the mammary glands, identifying the causes of various neoplasms, pain, and changes in a timely manner.
 

What diseases does a mammologist treat?
 

Breast diseases do not always exhibit prominent symptoms. They can remain asymptomatic for extended periods, and a woman may not notice changes in her breasts. This is why regular consultations with a mammologist, including ultrasound scanning, are essential, particularly after the age of 40 when mammography becomes recommended. These measures help in early detection of most pathologies, enabling successful treatment and resolution. Furthermore, consulting a mammologist is necessary in cases of hormonal imbalances, breast milk congestion, or painful lactation.
 

• Breast cysts;
• Mastitis;
• Mastopathies;
• Fibroadenomas of the mammary gland; Mammary gland fibroadenomas;
• Breast tumors.

A mammologist is also essential for women during breastfeeding, as the doctor helps prevent lactation problems (such as milk stasis, mastitis, and breast swelling) and assesses the condition of the breasts at the end of the lactation period.
 

When is it necessary to seek consultation with a mammologist?
 

The initial appointment with a mammologist should occur during adolescence when the menstrual cycle normalizes, and the mammary glands develop. If a woman has no specific concerns, examinations can be conducted annually (once a year), and after menopause, biennially (once in two years time). In cases of unfavorable family history or close relatives with breast cancer, it is advisable to visit the doctor more frequently, typically twice a year. Additionally, women who experience delayed puberty, a later-than-usual onset of menopause, have a history of mastopathy or have had previous miscarriages or abortions may benefit from more frequent visits. Furthermore, women who have chosen not to breastfeed or have never been pregnant should consider more regular check-ups with the doctor.
