Tumores o protuberancias en las mamas
Prevención:
Para evitar los cambios fibroquÃsticos en el tejido mamario, se recomienda evitar el exceso de grasa y cafeÃna en la dieta.
La mayorÃa de los casos de cáncer de mama no se pueden prevenir. Sin embargo, la detección temprana y el tratamiento oportuno son importantes. Todas las mujeres de más de 40 años deben practicarse un autoexamen de mamas cada mes, preferiblemente al final de su perÃodo menstrual cuando las mamas son menos sensibles. Las mujeres que están amamantando deben examinarse sus mamas después de completar cada alimentación, asà como hacerse examinar las mamas en forma rutinaria por parte de un médico y practicarse mamografÃas de rutina.
