Benign Breast Conditions
During a complete breast exam, we evaluate all patients to determine if their condition is benign, and if they need further diagnostic tests or treatment.
We treat many types of benign (non-cancerous) breast conditions, including:
- Breast pain (mastodynia)
- Breast infection (mastitis) and breast abscesses
- Non-cancerous breast lumps (fibrocystic changes, fibroadenomas, lipomas cysts, papillomas)
- Enlarged breast tissue in a man (gynecomastia)
- Nipple problems (eczema, duct ectasia, periductal mastitis, nipple discharge)
- Pregnancy and lactational changes (lactating adenoma, galactocele)
- Conditions of the skin (eczema, sebaceous cyst, Paget's disease of the breast)
For a complete evaluation or a second opinion about breast changes, call the Comprehensive Breast Program at (603) 653-3500.
