11/13/2024 Women experience breast changes when they lose or gain weight, and sometimes breasts change for no obvious reason. Age, hormonal levels, and medicines can cause lumps, bumps, and discharges. Minor and serious breast problems have similar symptoms. If you have a breast lump, pain discharge, or skin irritation, it is essential to consult your healthcare provider.
Breast disorders can be noncancerous and benign or cancerous and malignant. Most breast problems are noncancerous, non-life-threatening and do not require treatment. However, breast cancer needs prompt treatment and may involve surgery or other intensive treatment. Rarely do men develop breast cancer, but they should be aware of changes in or around their nipples.
Potential problems can often be detected early with the help of regular breast examinations with your physicians, mammograms as recommended, and MRI. An MRI can give your doctor information about your breasts, chest wall, and underarms.
What Is a Breast MRI?Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic exam that uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to produce three-dimensional, detailed images of structures inside the breast.
A breast MRI looks specifically at the breast and helps physicians determine what the inside of the breast looks like without having to do surgery or flatten the breast, as in a mammogram. A breast MRI can offer more information about the extent of breast cancer than is possible with a mammogram alone. When used with mammography and breast ultrasound, an MRI can be a useful diagnostic tool and help in detecting small breast lesions, which are often missed by mammography. It can show the extent of the cancer or an issue with the other breast.
It also helps discover breast cancer in women with breast implants and in younger women with dense breast tissue when mammography is not so effective. MRI tells the difference between diseased tissues and normal tissues better than X-ray, CT scan, and ultrasound and enables physicians to monitor treatment progress.
