Mastalgia is occasionally found in patients with liver cirrhosis, especially in those receiving spironolactone for treatment of ascites. The pathogenesis is still unclear. Estrogen excess in cirrhotic patients and estrogenic effects of the spironolactone are possible leading causes.
The association between lymphedema of the arm and impaired health-related QoL (HR-QoL) has led to changes in clinical practice. However, data on lymphedema of the breast (ie, breast edema) are lacking. We prospectively evaluated patient-reported prevalence and determinants of breast Mammary congestion is mainly a painful syndrome, principally related to diffuse edema of the gland, the radiological signs of which are described in this report. Excellent validity can be obtained by a trained observer of these signs. In contrast, however, thermographic signs are of less value,
Cycle-dependent breast complaints in most cases are based on a hormonal dysbalance with estrogen predominance and development of an interstitial edema. They preferably occur between 30-50 years of age with possibly appearing mastopathic tissue changes. Whereas the treatment with antiphlogistic,
