Παθήσεις μαστού και κύηση

The breasts are a feature of the female body that is influenced by the hormonal system from menarche to menopause. Thus, numerous diseases can arise under the constant effect of estrogens and progesterone. The breast diseases are primarily classified as benign and malignant. This distinction of malignancy is important because early diagnosis, which must be based on a regular and proper clinical examination and the corresponding paraclinical and imaging tests, leads to a more prosperous path. However, diagnosing women is difficult during pregnancy (and nursing) because while the same conditions can arise in these groups, the effect of hormones that affect the breasts during pregnancy can not be canceled. Therefore, we investigate the breast disease on the diagnosis and treatment, taking into account the health of not only the pregnant woman but the fetus as well.

In this paper we describe the anatomy and physiology of the breast as well as the physiological changes that occur in the breast during pregnancy. Then, we describe the diagnostic tools available to investigate the pathology aspects and safety regarding the pregnant as well as the fetuses. The description of the breast diseases, which are separated into benign and malignant, follows.

In the next section we discuss the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of breast disease for the prognosis as well as the moral dilemma that arises when the survival / health of the pregnant woman preclude the survival / health chances of the fetus.
