Mammologist Consultation in Kyiv

In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in breast diseases worldwide. According to statistics, benign forms of diseases have been found in 70% of women. Ukraine is no exception. Regular mammography and consultation with a mammologist help maintain health and detect diseases at early stages.

All these diseases can be divided into two categories: benign and malignant. Most of the listed conditions fall into the benign category, while breast cancer falls into the malignant category. However, it is important to understand that there is a high risk of benign formations turning into malignant ones.

Consultation with a mammologist can be required by any woman, regardless of her age. Risk factors include:

• hereditary predisposition
• mechanical injuries to the breast
• prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation
• refusal to breastfeed
• late childbirth (after 30 years)
• frequent stress, unhealthy lifestyle
• early menstruation (before 12 years old)
• abortions
• late menopause (after 55 years)

At the Newlifeclinic mammology clinic in Kyiv, consultations are conducted by qualified specialists who will refer for additional examinations with profile doctors if necessary.

A consultation with a mammologist includes several procedures. However, a woman can perform a preliminary examination independently:

1. breast examination for discharge
2. checking symmetry of breast placement and size
3. skin examination for elasticity, color, texture, presence of lumps, and other changes
4. palpation of the breasts while standing and lying down
5. examination of the nipples for changes in shape, color, cracks, or other defects

If any suspicious signs are detected, it is necessary to immediately schedule an appointment with a mammologist.

During the visit, a breast condition diagnosis is carried out, including:

• radiological diagnostics
• breast ultrasound
• biopsy (cytological examination)

Mammological screening helps detect even minimal-size formations. Early diagnostics enable the prevention of disease progression and treatment without significant surgical intervention.

Breast health is an essential aspect of a woman’s overall well-being, and timely visits to a mammologist can prevent the development of many serious diseases. It is necessary to schedule a consultation when:

1. Pain or discomfort in the breasts. Pain, especially if not related to the menstrual cycle, may indicate inflammation, hormonal imbalance, or more serious diseases.
2. Lumps or hardening in the breast. If lumps or hard areas are found during self-examination, immediate consultation with a doctor is crucial. These changes may be benign or may require further investigation.
3. Changes in breast shape or size. Any changes in symmetry, shape, or size, or skin or nipple retraction, could signal pathological processes.
4. Discharge from the nipples. Any discharge, whether bloody, clear, or purulent, needs a mammologist’s attention. These symptoms may be related to inflammation, cysts, or other diseases.
5. Hereditary predisposition to cancer. If there is a history of breast cancer in your family, especially among close relatives, regular monitoring by a mammologist and genetic testing are highly important.

Even in the absence of symptoms, every woman should consult a mammologist:

• Under 40 years – every 1-2 years
• Over 40 years – annually, with mandatory mammography

These preventive checkups help detect diseases at an early stage when treatment is most effective.

For mastopathy or mastitis, treatment should only be prescribed by a doctor. Typically, treatment eliminates structural abnormalities in the breast and cures the condition. For malignant growths, more prolonged treatment and thorough investigations are required.
