Understanding Drugs Acting on Mammary Gland Gangrene: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments
Abstract
Mammary gland GANGRENE, a severe condition impacting the breast tissue, needs immediate attention and treatment. Mammary Gangrene is also known as breast Gangrene or Mammary duct ectopia. It can happen due to various factors namely trauma, infections. Cm vascular comprise and underlying medical conditions like diabetes or auto immune disease. Treatment include Ergotamine Derivatives, Chemotherapeitic agents and Hormonal therapy. Symptoms include severe breast pain, swelling, redness, warmth and skin discoloration. Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical evaluation. Imaging studies such as mammography or ultra sound and sometimes biopsy to confirm the text of tissue damage and rule out other underlying conditions. Finally it is concluded that Mammary gland Gangrene is a rare but serious condition that needs prompt recognition and intervention.
