Question 4

what do i do to get rid of breast milk! i have had it for 16 months..?

Accepted Answer

Visit provider: Usually once you stop breastfeeding milk production will slow and eventually stop on its own without the stimulation of the infant. If certain hormones are elevated it could cause continued production. You can also have part of a duct system that did not completely empty and get intermittent release from there that is not due to continued production. An exam and labs will provide more info.

Question 5

do you have to cut your breast off to get rid of breast cancer? what do i do?

Accepted Answer

It depends: If the cancer is large relative to the size of your breast, it may require a mastectomy instead of a lumpectomy.   Depending on the type of breast cancer, if you have a large tumor and it is fast-growing, you may be a good candidate for IV or oral therapy prior to surgery to shrink down the tumor.  You would need to see a Surgical or Medical Oncologist to see if this is an option for you.

Question 6

Sorry: Stretch marks are tears in the skin cause by weight gain. They can be covered up, but not improved by creams and lotions. The only possibly effective therapy is cosmetic plastic surgery, but that's a big step for a non-health and non-life threatening problem.

Question 7

how do i get rid of male breasts?

Accepted Answer

Possibilities: Large male breasts may be a sign of a hormone imbalance, side effect of certain medications, or due to use of marijuana. Causes such as these are treated by cessation of the causative agent or by taking a different medication. If medical reasons for gynecomastia can be ruled out by your primary physician, a plastic surgeon is the best to see for definitive treatment.

Question 8

No: There is no benefit in doing so. Microcalcifications are common. They themselves do not cause any problems. A minority of some types of calcifications can be an indication of a potential early cancer. They themselves do not cause a problem.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Gynecomastia: The most common cause of "male breasts" on both sides is weight gain.  Getting on an exercise regimen and changing your dietary habits can help.  There are some medications that can cause gynecomastia (enlarged male breast tissue).  I recommend reviewing your medications with your doctor. In some cases, it may need to be surgically removed.
