Complications While Breast Feeding after Breast Augmentation


  Are Alternative Cancer Treatments For Real?

Breast augmentation is a procedure in which the breasts an artificially enhanced with silicone or saline implants. This procedure is also commonly referred to as a breast implant surgery. This surgery is quite common as several women across the country have gone through it. However, at times, women hesitate to get implants, because they are worried about the complications that could arise during breast feeding.
While many women have managed to nurse their babies quite easily after a breast augmentation surgery, there are several who have experienced difficulty in breast feeding, because of their implants.
According to studies conducted by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) a breast surgery of any kind, even a breast augmentation surgery, can increase the risks of lactation insufficiency (inadequate milk supply), by up to 3 times. Again, it is not necessary that you will experience problems while nursing, just because you’ve undergone a breast enhancement surgery.
After a surgery, your breast may become more or less sensitive to the baby’s sucking motion, because of the implants. At times, the implants also push the nearby tissues of the mammary glands, which can reduce the amount of milk produced or stored by the breast. There are a few other complications that could occur while breast feeding, because of implants. Some of the common problems include:
Blockage in the flow of breast milk Damage of nerves in the breast and mammary glands Mastitis, fever and chills Scarring of certain areas within the breast tissue Swelling and increased pain in the breasts
Not all breast augmentation surgeries result in breastfeeding problems; it all depends upon the incision site. A Periareolar incision is a surgical slit that is made around the areola or the edge of the nipples. An incision of this kind is quite risky, as it could damage your nerves and vessels, thereby affecting the production and flow of milk. However, if the surgical incision is made in the crease of the breast or in the armpit, it should not interfere with the gland or the ducts. Breast augmentation using such an incision should not cause any problems while breast feeding.
When you consult your doctor about breast enhancement procedures you may be warned about the potential problems that could arise. Your doctor may also ask you to consider delaying the surgery, until after you are done breastfeeding. While discussing the surgery with your doctor, asking about the type of incision that will be used may also help. Also ensure that your surgery is performed by a licensed and well-experienced professional.

Qigong Improves Quality of Life in Breast Cancer Patients

 Qigong Improves Quality of Life in Breast Cancer Patients

The ancient mind/body practice known as qigong, which dates back at least 4,000 years, has been found to be beneficial to some breast cancer patients, according to researchers from one of the preeminent cancer research hospitals in the world, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Specifically, the practice has been found to reduce some sympoms of depression as well as improve the quality of life in breast cancer patients who are undergoing radiation therapy.
The findings have been published in the respected, peer-reviewed journal Cancer, and the study is the first prospective study to look at qigong in breast cancer patients receiving radiotherapy and include a follow-up assessment.
Said Lorenzo Cohen, Ph.D., professor in MD Anderson's Departments of General Oncology and Behavioral Science and director of the Integrative Medicine Program:
"We were also particularly interested to see if qigong would benefit patients experiencing depressive symptoms at the start of treatment. It is important for cancer patients to manage stress because it can have a profoundly negative effect on biological systems and inflammatory profiles."
This study enrolled 96 women diagnosed with breast cancer in stages I, II or III receiving teatment at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center in Shanghai, China. Of the group, 49 women received qigong which included five 40-minute classes each week during their five-to-six week course of radiation therapy. Meanwhile the other 47 women received the standard of care.
Participants were assessed five times: At the start of therapy, in the middle, at the end, one month later and three months later. The different aspects that were assessed included depressive symptoms, fatigue, sleep disturbances and overall quality of life.
Results showed that patients in the qigong group had a decline in symptoms of depression and an overall improvement of quality of life during the assessment times, while patients in the other group showed no changes.
Back to Dr. Cohen:
"We examined women's depressive symptoms at the start of the study to see if women with higher levels would benefit more. In fact, women with low levels of depressive symptoms at the start of radiotherapy had good quality of life throughout treatment and three months later regardless of whether they were in the qigong or control group. However, women with high depressive symptoms in the control group reported the worst levels of depressive symptoms, fatigue, and overall quality of life that were significantly improved for the women in the qigong group."
The authors nonetheless urged that further research was needed to confirm these findings.
