Breast surgery is performed for various conditions, including benign tumors, inflammatory processes, and malignant tumors. Modern surgery makes it possible to effectively remove the pathological focus, preserve the patient's health, and, whenever possible, maintain the aesthetic appearance of the breast.

At the Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center, procedures of varying complexity are performed using modern surgical technologies. An individualized approach allows specialists to select the optimal treatment strategy based on the diagnosis, age, and overall health of each patient.

Types of Breast Surgery

The scope of surgical intervention is determined after comprehensive diagnostics and depends on the nature of the disease.

The most common types of surgery include:

Sectoral resection
Lumpectomy
Radical mastectomy
Removal of benign tumors
Drainage or removal of breast abscesses
Reconstructive surgery

Each type of procedure has specific indications and is performed according to modern medical standards.

Sectoral Resection

Sectoral resection is a breast-conserving operation during which a section of the breast containing the pathological formation is removed along with a small amount of surrounding tissue.

This method is used for:

Fibroadenomas
Certain cysts
Benign tumors
Early-stage oncological diseases

The main advantage of this procedure is preservation of most of the breast tissue.

Radical Mastectomy

Radical mastectomy is performed for advanced breast cancer or when breast-conserving surgery is not possible.

During the procedure, the breast is removed, and if necessary, nearby lymph nodes and surrounding tissues are also removed.

The extent of surgery is determined individually after a complete examination.

Lumpectomy

Lumpectomy is a breast-conserving procedure used mainly to treat small malignant tumors.

During the operation, the breast tumor is removed with a minimal amount of surrounding healthy tissue.

This approach helps preserve the shape of the breast while ensuring effective treatment.

Indications for Surgery

Breast surgery is performed for various diseases.

The main indications include:

Benign tumors
Fibroadenomas
Suspicion of malignancy
Breast cancer
Inflammatory processes
Abscesses
Rapid enlargement of a mass
High risk of complications

The decision about whether surgery is necessary is made after consultation with a mammologist and surgeon.

How Breast Surgery Is Performed

Before surgical treatment, the patient undergoes a comprehensive examination.

It includes:

Consultation with a mammologist
Ultrasound examination
Mammography
Laboratory tests
Biopsy, if necessary
Consultation with an anesthesiologist

After preparation, surgery is performed, with the scope determined individually.

Modern surgical methods help preserve healthy tissue as much as possible and achieve a good cosmetic result.

Rehabilitation After Surgery

After surgical treatment, the patient remains under specialist supervision.

For successful recovery, patients are advised to:

Follow the doctor's recommendations
Limit physical activity
Properly care for the postoperative wound
Follow the prescribed medication therapy
Attend regular follow-up appointments
Gradually return to normal activity

Comprehensive rehabilitation helps speed up recovery and reduce the risk of complications.

Cost of Breast Surgery

Many patients ask how much breast surgery costs. The cost of treatment is calculated individually after consultation with a specialist.

The final price depends on:

Established diagnosis
Scope of surgical intervention
Need for additional tests
Length of hospital stay
Complexity of the operation
Scope of postoperative rehabilitation

Accurate pricing information is provided after diagnostics and development of an individualized treatment plan.

How should I prepare for breast surgery?

Before surgery, patients should consult a mammologist and surgeon, complete laboratory and instrumental examinations, and follow the doctor's preparation recommendations.

How long does recovery take after surgery?

Recovery time depends on the extent of the operation and the individual characteristics of the body. Recovery is usually faster after breast-conserving procedures, but the final timeline is determined by the treating physician.

Can the breast be preserved during breast cancer treatment?

In many cases, breast-conserving surgery is possible when the disease is detected early. The decision is made individually after a complete examination, taking into account tumor size, disease stage, and the patient's overall condition.

What Is Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and What Does It Do?

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and regulates the function of the thyroid gland. It stimulates the production of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), hormones that affect nearly every organ and system in the body.

When thyroid hormone levels decrease, the pituitary gland produces more TSH to stimulate the thyroid. Conversely, when T3 and T4 levels are too high, TSH production decreases. This is why a TSH blood test is considered one of the most important methods for evaluating endocrine system function.

Normal TSH Levels in Women, Men, and Children

Reference ranges may vary slightly depending on the laboratory and the testing method used. In most cases, the normal TSH range for adults is approximately 0.4–4.0 mIU/L.

TSH levels can be influenced by:

age;
sex;
pregnancy;
certain medications;
underlying medical conditions.

During pregnancy, normal TSH values change, especially in the first trimester. Therefore, test results should always be interpreted by a healthcare professional.

In children, TSH levels also vary with age. Newborns typically have higher TSH levels, which gradually decrease and approach adult reference values as they grow.

When Should You Get a TSH Test?

A doctor may recommend a TSH test if you experience symptoms that may indicate thyroid dysfunction.

These symptoms include:

persistent fatigue;
drowsiness;
sudden weight changes;
dry skin;
hair loss;
irregular heartbeat;
excessive sweating;
insomnia;
irritability;
difficulty conceiving.

A TSH test is also commonly recommended during pregnancy, when planning pregnancy, to monitor thyroid disease treatment, and as part of routine preventive health check-ups.

Causes of High and Low TSH Levels

An elevated TSH level most commonly indicates an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). Possible causes include autoimmune diseases, iodine deficiency, the effects of thyroid surgery, or treatment with certain medications.

A low TSH level may occur in hyperthyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones. Changes in TSH levels may also be associated with pituitary disorders, severe stress, or the use of certain medications.

TSH test results should always be interpreted together with T3 and T4 levels, clinical symptoms, and the findings of additional diagnostic tests.

How to Prepare for a TSH Blood Test

To obtain the most accurate results, it is recommended to:

have your blood drawn on an empty stomach;
avoid intense physical activity the day before the test;
avoid alcohol for 24 hours before the test;
inform your doctor about all medications you are taking;
whenever possible, have follow-up blood tests performed at the same time of day.

Following these recommendations helps ensure the most reliable laboratory results.

What Do Abnormal TSH Levels Mean and When Should You See an Endocrinologist?

An abnormal TSH level is not a disease itself but rather an indicator of a possible endocrine disorder. To determine the underlying cause, your doctor may recommend additional blood tests, a thyroid ultrasound, and other diagnostic procedures.

You should consult an endocrinologist if you experience symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, receive abnormal thyroid test results, or have a family history of endocrine disorders. Children with suspected thyroid problems should be evaluated by a pediatric endocrinologist.

Conclusion

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is one of the most important indicators of thyroid function. A timely TSH blood test can detect thyroid disorders before noticeable symptoms develop, allowing treatment to begin at an early stage. Regular preventive check-ups, consultations with an endocrinologist, and modern diagnostic methods help maintain endocrine health and reduce the risk of developing serious thyroid and hormonal disorders.

Flatulence: Causes of Bloating and Ways to Get Rid of It

Flatulence is an excessive buildup of gas in the intestines, causing a feeling of fullness, an increase in abdominal size, rumbling, and passing gas. Occasional bloating after certain foods is normal, while constant or pronounced flatulence may indicate a digestive problem.
