Mammology is a medical field that studies diseases of the mammary glands, as well as methods of their diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Mammology is focused on ensuring the health and functioning of the mammary glands, as well as the detection and treatment of various pathologies that may occur in this area.

All diseases except cancer may not be critical for a woman’s health. However, it is still important to diagnose and treat them in time, and in some cases, observation is sufficient. Treatment may also involve surgery, as in the case of fibroadenoma, since there is no cure for the tumor. Only a mammologist can determine what actions will be correct for maintaining health, and you can make an appointment for an examination in Ivano-Frankivsk at our medical center Med-Atlant.

The mammologists of our center in Ivano-Frankivsk pay close attention to the prevention of breast diseases, especially the most dangerous of them – breast cancer.

All changes in the mammary glands are mainly associated with gynecological and endocrine problems. The most commonly diagnosed breast diseases by mammologists are:

Mastopathy – changes in tissues with a violation of the ratio of epithelial and connective tissue components.

Breast cyst is a formation in the form of a capsule with a liquid content in the ducts of the mammary gland.

Fibroadenoma is a benign formation of organ tissue cells.

A lipoma is a benign tumor formed from adipose tissue.

Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast tissue.

Breast cancer.

PREVENTIVE EXAMINATION BY A MAMMOLOGIST AT THE MED-ATLANTE MEDICAL CENTER IN IVANO-FRANKIVSK

Mammography can be performed in public medical institutions. In this case, you will need a doctor’s referral, which will be issued by our mammologist if necessary.

Consultation with a mammologist is the only way to prevent cancer. At the visit, the doctor will take anamnesis, conduct an examination – external and palpation (palpation) to identify possible formations or their absence. Additional methods at the Med-Atlanteum include:

Ultrasound diagnostics of the mammary glands;

Elastography to determine the density of tissues;

Breast biopsy.

It is recommended to visit a mammologist once a year for examination and possible diagnosis as a preventive measure. It is definitely worth making an appointment with a mammologist if you have any concerns. In most cases, women are concerned about benign growths, but only a doctor can determine whether this is really the case. It is important to know that the ultrasound conclusion is not the final grounds for reassurance or worry – it is an additional diagnostic method that should be used to visit a mammologist if the ultrasound was the first priority. This sequence – first ultrasound and then examination – is the most optimal for accurate diagnosis.

Timely diagnosis of diseases by a mammologist is the key to effective treatment of women!

In our institution, it is possible to treat benign tumors, mastopathies, and mastitis. Also, on the basis of our center in Ivano-Frankivsk, mammologists will remove fibroadenomas. All this in a comfortable environment, with modern equipment and respect for you.

He will show and teach you how to properly conduct a self-examination, which is equally important.

Timely diagnosis is important given the spread of breast cancer. According to the WHO, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in the world. In Ukraine, it is also the leading type of disease in terms of tumors in women. In the early stages, cancer causes no pain or other symptoms. However, it can be detected during an examination by a mammologist at the Med-Atlante MCC in Ivano-Frankivsk. And the earlier cancer is diagnosed and treated, the greater the likelihood of recovery. At the first stage, cancer is cured in 95-98% of cases.

We invite you to come for preventive examinations, as they can ensure the safety of your life and health. To make an appointment, please use the appointment form, Viber or call our clinic.
