Description
Summary:Mastalgia is painful symptoms in the absence of abnormalities in the breast physiology<br />and pathology of the breast parenchyma. More than 80% of all cases mastalgia is a mild<br />case. The exact causes of mastalgia has not yet been sufficiently studied, but few studies<br />relate endocrine abnormalities, inflammation, pcyconeurosis, improper nutrition, and<br />consumption of certain drugs. Based on the occurrence, mastalgia divided into two<br />categories, namely mastalgia cyclic (related to the endocrine system) and mastalgia<br />noncyclic (associated with the nonendokrin system). Noncyclic mastalgia conditions<br />can be divided into two categories, which comes from the breast (true noncyclic breast<br />pain) and in addition breasts (extramammary pain). Each classification of mastalgia had<br />typical clinical picture, so the majority mastalgia diagnosis can already be diagnosed<br />through a complete clinical examination. The most important of mastalgia management<br />is reassurance. This method will greatly affect the psychology of patients and are<br />associated with the severity of symptoms and response to therapy received by patients. <br />1 <br />Non-pharmacological and pharmacological therapies may be done in accordance with<br />the indications. Surgical treatment is not recommended unless there is a definite<br />indication. <br /><br />
