But the seal in the mammary gland with clearly marked edges, which feels like a rubber ball( or a bag), can be a cyst. A round seal with clearly visible boundaries may indicate fibroadenoma. But the node in the mammary gland( in the area of ​​the nipple) often turns into an intraprotective papilloma.

Oncology is what most of all, probably, is afraid of each of the women who have found a tightening in the chest. This formation is usually hard to touch, but painless, has an irregular shape. Can be accompanied by the sensation of some foreign object stuck in the chest.

The best way out is to go to a mammalogist( well, or a gynecologist, a surgeon).Only the doctor will tell you the correct list of actions! Appealing for advice and treatment to all sorts of sorcerers is not only a waste of time, but also a real risk of harming yourself! After all, as the statistics say, the majority of neoplasms in the chest are benign. But! If they are treated incorrectly( and folk healers sometimes advise very exotic ways of getting rid of seals) they can grow into something much more serious and unpleasant! So, the main advice is an attentive attitude to yourself and your body, as well as understanding the need for timely treatment to doctors!
