What to do if the breast duct is locally dilated

The influence of today's society and other issues, as well as excessive fatigue and staying up late, have led to breast problems for many women. Therefore, it is particularly important to protect women's health. So what should we do about local dilation of the mammary duct? Let's ask an expert to introduce this issue to us.

Surgical treatment is an effective treatment for this disease. Different surgical methods are used according to different development stages.

(1) Ductectomy: This procedure is suitable for patients with widespread dilatation of the subareolar ducts and subareolar masses accompanied by nipple discharge in the early stages of the disease. The procedure is to make an arc-shaped incision along the edge of the areola, retain the nipple, remove all dilated ducts below the nipple, and then remove the breast mass tissue under the areola in a wedge-shaped manner.

(2) Segmental mastectomy: It is suitable for patients with subareolar masses and ductal inflammation. During the operation, the large ducts in this area and the tissues around the mass should be removed from the nipple to prevent the formation of subareolar cysts, breast fistulas and nipple discharge after surgery.

(3) Simple mastectomy: It is suitable for patients with extensive lesions and large masses, especially those located under the areola and adhering to the skin to form a sinus tract. Subcutaneous total mastectomy or simple mastectomy can be performed.

Mammary duct ectasia is a benign breast lesion. It is rare for the disease to become malignant, but it has the potential for malignant transformation. Therefore, once the diagnosis is confirmed, surgical treatment should be performed. Surgery is the only effective way to treat this disease. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.

The above is the expert's opinion on this issue. For this problem, patients must receive timely treatment. First of all, they must pay attention to rest, so as to ensure the smooth treatment. In particular, they should consult a doctor to ensure that the disease can be well controlled. If any problems occur, they must be hospitalized for treatment in time. Finally, I wish the patients a speedy recovery.
