Benign and Malignant Breast Disease
The health of your breasts is vital to your overall well-being, and addressing any concerns promptly can make all the difference. Dr. Chandana Guduru is an expert in managing a wide spectrum of breast conditions, ensuring that each patient receives personalized care with compassion and expertise.
Benign Breast Conditions
Benign (non-cancerous) breast diseases are common and often manageable. These conditions can cause discomfort or changes in the breast tissue, but they are usually not life-threatening. Dr. Chandana specializes in diagnosing and treating a variety of benign breast issues, including:
- Fibroadenomas: Non-cancerous lumps that often affect younger women.
- Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that may cause pain or tenderness.
- Fibrocystic Changes: Hormonal fluctuations that lead to lumpiness or discomfort.
- Mastitis: Infections, often related to breastfeeding, causing pain, redness, and swelling.
- Duct Ectasia: Changes in the milk ducts that may cause nipple discharge or discomfort.
Dr. Chandana focuses on minimally invasive techniques and thorough monitoring to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
Malignant Breast Conditions
A diagnosis of breast cancer can be life-altering, but early intervention and advanced treatments offer hope and recovery. Dr. Chandana provides expert care for patients with malignant breast diseases, including:
- Breast Cancer Diagnosis: Early detection through clinical exams, imaging, and biopsies.
- Surgical Treatment: Options such as lumpectomy (removal of the tumor) or mastectomy (removal of the breast) tailored to the individual’s condition and preferences.
- Oncoplastic Techniques: Combining cancer removal with aesthetic reconstruction for optimal results.
- Lymph Node Management: Sentinel lymph node biopsies and axillary lymph node dissections to manage the spread of cancer.
With a patient-centric approach, Dr. Chandana ensures that every treatment plan is comprehensive and customized, addressing both physical and emotional needs during the journey to recovery.
