Very important is the information about the hormonal situation (at the first time, the older women and the last menstrual period), to have a problem with the cycle and family planning (pregnancy or infertility?).
The doctor should be informed about the drugs taken, in particular hormone preparation (birth control pills or other hormonal contraceptive measures or hormones for menopausal symptoms), if he does not do his own therapy.
When then subsequent breast physical examination (such as screening tests or regular date), the doctor looks first in shape and texture. He also noticed differences in the possible adverse skin lesions or scars. Then he examined her breasts with special Tasttechnik. He asks her to assume different postures: standing, sitting, arms akimbo, elevated above the head. He also controls the lymphatic and scan them from: armpit and the area above and below the collarbone.
For breast cancer screening study also included instructions for self-examination.
Women with an increased risk of hereditary breast cancer (see "breast cancer", section "Causes and Risk Factors") recommended screening with breast palpation, mammography, ultrasound, MRI and gynecological examination of the abdominal organs.
And: healthy women aged 20 and over can also go for cervical cancer screening test once a year for free.

Breast tissue: What is it like | Breast Lumps
Network nodes are the best in the area outside the upper breast (quadrant) button next to the armpit, where the most prominent. Usually, it feels solid and just a little strand, perhaps a little bumpy or nodular. Adipose tissue, however, is soft and, for example, increases in the region under the breast. Especially the fat content depends on the individual's body type: For women who give a lot to the scale, the breast is fat.
Agency often feel somewhat uneven, wavy or even complicated, can improve in the second half cycle and sensitive to pain. This is cyclical breast pain is often called mastalgia (root word "pole" is derived from the Greek and means breast, breast).
A painful feeling of tension in both breasts not only include menstrual bleeding can also be done at first, though definite signs of pregnancy. Pain in the breast without reference to the doctors call cycle is not mastalgia. Is chest pain, mastalgia, Mastodynia: Better too much than too little time to see a doctor, especially if also noted changes in the breast. This also applies to men.
Before menopause, women should always be possible to examine their breasts in the first half of the cycle, because the fabric was loose and better "durchtastbar".
Taking birth control pills that mimic the cycle, or after menopause you should always choose the same date may be a month to study - only as a guide, not to forget altogether. Of course, it also depends on appropriate technology. Help give a female doctor (see "Other symptoms, diagnosis").
Women examine their breasts themselves, tend to have more sense of the changes in the network. That's according to a recent study, the main advantage of self-examination. It is also important to compare the nature of the right and left together and notice the difference newly created pages.
Palpable nodes are usually greater than one-half to one centimeter.

He passed through the channel to the end of the nipple. Small channels unite to move into larger collecting ducts. Upstream of the mouth on the nipple they expand on something else. In the period of lactation here form a small lake that flows milk and recharge when the child sucks at the breast.
Some produce larger lobules, branching into lobules. Overall, each breast contains about 15 to 20, offset from each other by connective tissue lobules. Lobules with a subunit his gait. It is made from beer-shaped end pieces, in which milk is formed.

Therapy | Breast Lumps
Treatment depends on the exact diagnosis. This therapy is quite, outline pregnant monitoring and control through a puncture, eg, cysts, until removal of the tumor (open excisional biopsy or lumpectomy, breast conservation surgery form).
Small changes can often be entirely eliminated even by means of modern technology biopsy. However, sometimes it is inevitable nachzuoperieren or take the whole breast. Tissue is removed and then carefully examined under a microscope.
Perhaps, additional treatment is required, for example, radiation therapy. This is especially true for breast cancer when she was breast-conserving surgery (sometimes even after removal of the breast) and ductal carcinoma has been mentioned in situ (DCIS). Often anti-hormone treatment even necessary complement. Also chemotherapy can be additional antibody therapy or treatment with substances known as targeted therapy is one possible option.
Specialists in breast cancer therapy decide together with the affected patients through proper way respectively. Relevant factors include individual characteristics of the disease and guidelines and studies representing a total of many medical situations.
In this paper, it's all about the nodes and swelling in the breast that is palpable, making the symptoms as shown. Again: Four of the five nodes biopsied benign, and benign lesions was also the focus of this paper. Often, however, also from the node that is mentioned in the findings which stands only for diagnostic imaging of the breast, no matter whether they are ultimately benign or malignant.
Another term that is often used in this context, is the tumor. It only means that there is a tumor. Tumors can be benign or malignant, or, as mentioned above, there are between "good" and "evil".
About breast cancer, which currently does not mean more common and in the early stages and always as palpable nodules, inform your own text (see breast cancer). It also comes with a benign change the language associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, such as atypical ductal hyperplasia mentioned (ADH) in the milk ducts or precancerous DCIS (see above). Although they can be found in the biopsy findings palpable. But some imaging evidence, such as a mammogram.
In the next chapter, breast tissue, and how it feels to be described in detail. In the last chapter, you will find health tips that can help to prevent cancer.

Only from hundreds of breast cancer patients is a man. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of breast cancer found in men tends to be delayed significantly. Could help that man "natural" does not refer to the disease itself.
Men may tend to underestimate the abnormal results. Or, if you ever consider that it could be embarrassing possibility of breast cancer "woman's disease" and was not so long to go to the doctor.
This situation is similar to the shape of the breasts, called gynecomastia (male breast, sometimes also occur gynecomastia only on one side). Whether one or both parties: men feel feminine curves on your body itself is not unpleasant and often embarrassing. However, this problem has now moved further into the public consciousness, and there are more counseling and treatment. For more information, see the article Sore breasts.

Important: A lumps does not automatically breast cancer
The fact is, instead,
a. Four of the five nodes were examined histologically benign. Doctors can also usually calm woman. In order not to overlook serious change, it is a precaution recommend further investigation if these findings are striking.
b. The younger the person, the more likely that the node is not alarming. It is estimated that ten percent of all women aged 15 to 35 years, for example, to develop what is called a fibroadenoma. It is a benign tumor of glandular and connective tissue of the breast. Read more in the chapter "Cause: fibroadenoma".
c. Benign breast disease does not automatically increase the risk of breast cancer.
However, there are also some changes in benign tissue, which doctors attribute to "definite biological behavior". These include, for example, some papillomas or atypical ductal hyperplasia, which (ADH, ductal hyperplasia refers to the duct means increased cell growth). According to recent findings and the high density of breast tissue on mammography role as a risk factor. If, for example, at the same time a last ADH, the risk of breast cancer increased markedly. Experts in specialized cancer centers (info: see the literature on the bottom) and then be able to suggest possible anti-hormone therapy is prevention.
In addition, certain tumors come with unusual manifestations, including a rare Phyllodes- (or phyllodes) tumors: It is usually benign, but can rarely malignant. But now there is no relationship between breast cancer and Phyllodes benign tumors known.
On the other hand, there are precancerous lesions such as DCIS (ductal in situ Cacinoma). Carcinoma or carcinoma refers to a particular type of cancer, as is typical for breast cancer; In situ means that the cells remaining unchanged in the milk ducts. Therefore there is no invasive cancer that has exceeded a certain limit. As a precaution, doctors suggest here, however, to remove the corresponding area of ??the breast and optionally to connect additional therapy, similar to invasive breast cancer.
Certain benign lumps or "herd" can bring to the extent that the risk of breast cancer increases above normal, the average level. Depending on the findings, this applies to the affected breast or both breasts to. More about this in the chapters "causes: fibrocystic breast disease" and "Cause: Another tumor".

Most cases of breast cancer can be found early through breast self-examination (BSE). Starting at age 20 years, every woman is advisable to examine their own breasts monthly to detect any suspicious lumps in the breast. If you have not been through menopause, the best time to perform the examination is a few days after the end of menstruation, because at that time the breasts are not so sensitive anymore or swell. But for menopausal / no longer menstruate, specify only one date and do regular checks on the date each month. The trick is as follows:
Standing topless in front of a mirror. With both arms in addition, take note of what there be a concave part or parts that are interested in, or a change in the size, or shape. Make sure that the nipple is not entered into, except if it had always been the nipple into the (congenital). Place both hands on hips, then place it on the back of the head. Check to see if there are signs of the same on each side.
Next, go to the bathroom, wet, and breast Soap. Place your left hand behind your head and examine your left breast with his right hand. Suppose the surface of the breast as a clock, and put your right hand on the 12 o'clock position, at the top of the breast approximately 1 cm below the collarbone (clavicula). Datarkan palm of the hand, then with the fingertips together pressing palms accompanied by suppression by 3 finger is the middle finger, ring finger and index finger (not the fingertips), do a small circular motion, and the feel is palpable lump. At each position to do a bit of emphasis mild, moderate and deep pressure. Next, move your hand towards 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, and so on. When returning to the 12 o'clock position, slide the fingertips close to the nipple (approximately 1 cm) and repeat the same movement. Perform the first round in a circle, then create a smaller circle again. Continue to use the same pattern, to every part of the breast including the nipple have been checked.
To check the discharge from the nipple, make a V shape with the thumb and index finger and place it on the left and right nipple. Press to the areola (the dark circle around the nipple) and slowly dance up. Then change the position of the V earlier, so that the thumb and forefinger of each located on the areola above and below the nipple. Press and slowly pull it upwards. Then change the position of the V earlier, so that the thumb and forefinger of each located on the areola above and below the nipple. Press and slowly pull it upwards. (The principle do pemencetan nipple carefully and see if there is fluid or blood coming out of the nipple).
Finish by checking the area closest to the breast, which is under the armpits, because there also are breast tissue and lymph nodes lymph fluid channel into the breast tissue.
Repeat the whole procedure by using the left hand on the right breast.
