Duct ectasia refers to the dilation and thickening of milk ducts in the breast. Over time, these ducts may become blocked, leading to fluid buildup and irritation. It is most commonly seen in women approaching menopause but can occur at any age.
This can lead to symptoms such as nipple discharge, breast discomfort, or inflammation. Although it is not a serious condition, proper evaluation is essential to rule out other breast diseases and provide appropriate treatment.
Certain benign breast conditions may present with noticeable symptoms around the nipple and surrounding tissue.
Discharge may be thick, sticky, or colored.
Pain or tenderness in the affected breast area.
Presence of swelling or a lump close to the nipple.
Redness or irritation around the nipple area.
In some cases, the nipple may turn inward.
Multiple factors can contribute to these breast conditions, often involving age, lifestyle, and underlying changes in breast tissue.
Natural hormonal fluctuations and aging can affect breast tissue.
Obstruction in milk ducts can lead to swelling and discharge.
Smoking increases the risk of certain breast conditions.
Past infections may increase the likelihood of recurrence.
We offer personalized treatment options based on the severity and underlying cause of the condition.
