A blister is an
irregular hole loaded with fluid or with semi-fluid which shapes in an organ or
a fabric. The colossal greater part blisters is kindhearted, that is to state
carcinogenic. Notwithstanding, they can unsettle the working of an organ or
cause torment.
A cyst in the
breast contains some liquid produced by the mammary glands. Some are too small
to be smelt in touch. If the liquid piles up, it is possible to smell an oval
mass or a 1 cm round dance or 2 cm in diameter, which moves easily under
fingers. The cyst has tendency to become hard and sensitive before rules.
According to
National Cancer Institute des États-Unis and the Canadian Society of the
cancer, the mammary cloth suffers microscopic changes at almost all women, from
around thirty. These changes will become observable at 1 woman on 2, who will
discern a mass or feel a pain in breast. At present, the doctors consider that
these transformations are part of normal reproductive cycle.
To have a cyst in
the breast is not a risk factor of breast cancer. The cancer does not come
under form
of a simple cyst and fact to have a cyst has
an influence not at all on the possible risk of having a cancer. In 90 %
from cases, a new mass in the breast
represents something else than a cancer, often a simple cyst. In 40 years and
less, 99 % of masses are not cancéreuses1.
Diagnosis:
When a mass is
discerned on a breast, the doctor analyses first the nature of this mass:
kystique (liquid) or tumorale (solid). It is important to notice the evolution
of the mass: does she augment by volume before rules? Does it disappear from a
cycle in other one? Neither palpation, nor mammography allow to know if it is
about a cyst. An ultrasound scan allows to disclose a cyst but the best means
is to insert a fine needle in the mass. This intervention can often be made in
the office of the doctor. If some liquid can be inhaled, that it is not
blood-stained and that the mass disappears completely, it is about a simple
cyst. The inhaled liquid does not need to be analysed. If the examination of
the breast is normal from 4 to 6 weeks later, no other examination will be
necessary. The interest of this method is that it is also remedial (see the
section Medical treatments
If the liquid
contains some blood, if the mass does not disappear completely with the aspiration
of the liquid or if there is repetition, a sample will be analysed in
laboratory and it is necessary to undertake other specific tests (mammography,
radiography of the breast, ultrasound scan, biopsy) to prove if the mass is
cancerous or not.
When to see
patients?
In spite of the
fact that 90 % of masses in bosom are favorable, it is critical to counsel a
specialist for any mass or change perceived amid an autoexamination of bosom.
See patients quick if a mass:
• am new, uncommon
or develops;• am not linked up with menstrual cycle or do not disappear in
following cycle;
• am hard, firm or
solid;
• introduce an
irregular outline;
• seem firmly tied
inside the chest;
• is linked to
dimples or folds of the skin near the nipple;
• is accompanied by
a red and angry skin.
