A member asked:
Please explain reasons why there's a stigma attached to a mastectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By whom?: There is a loss of tissue, and sensitivities, like an amputation of a limb. Our society has an exaggerated focus on breast tissue compared to other societies, I think. Cancer and some severeve infections or masses can be healed or cured with partial,or complete mastectomy.
