Mastopathy is a disease with which almost half of the women of the entire planet live. But this does not mean that it does not need to be treated. There is no need for therapy when a woman does not feel pain, and the tumor does not increase in size. Otherwise, the disease requires a thorough diagnosis (ultrasound - once every six months) and treatment, which should be carried out only under the supervision of a doctor. Self-therapy can lead to disastrous consequences in the form of the transformation of a benign tumor into a malignant one.

Throughout the life of mankind, since ancient times, women have treated mastopathy with improvised means. Then they were the only medicine, which today is called folk medicine.

Symptoms

• Patients can feel various seals, nodules in the chest.
• Inflamed skin on the chest, itching, swelling of certain areas of the mammary gland.
