Mastalgia

Mastalgia or mastopathy is a pathology of the mammary glands in the form of diffuse and nodular compactions. Literally translated as “breast disease.” It manifests itself as discomfort in the chest and aching pain, sometimes accompanied by the release of milk from the nipple. If there are large formations, a person experiences difficulty moving.

Among the causes of mastalgia, endocrine diseases and thyroid pathology are most often cited. Ladies of all ages suffer from the disease. And women over 45 years old with mastalgia experience roughening of the nipples due to hormonal changes. The disease is also found in adolescents,
