At IQ InterQuirófanos, the Non-Oncologic Mastology specialty focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of breast disorders that are not cancerous in nature. It is a subspecialty of mastology that addresses a wide range of benign breast conditions, such as:

1. Benign breast diseases:
   
   • Fibrocystic breast disease: Hormonal imbalance that can cause pain, lumps, and changes in breast tissue.
   • Breast cysts: Collections of fluid in sacs within the breast, which are usually not cancerous.
   • Fibroadenomas: Benign tumors formed by glandular and fibrous tissue, common in young women.
   • Breast abscesses: Infection in the breast tissue that can cause pain, redness, and the formation of a lump.
2. Hormonal disorders: Non-oncologic mastology also deals with hormonal disorders that affect breast health, such as hormonal imbalances that can cause breast pain (mastalgia) or changes in breast structure.
3. Breast skin conditions: Conditions such as dermatitis or infections in the skin surrounding the breast, which require treatment to improve breast health.
4. Breast evaluation: Non-oncologic breast specialists also perform regular clinical evaluations, ultrasound, mammography, and other imaging tests to detect and monitor nonmalignant breast conditions. They also advise on prevention and appropriate management of these conditions, including conservative treatment.
5. Preventive counseling and education: Part of the job of a non-oncologic mammologist is to advise patients on breast self-examination, prevention of benign breast disease, and how to identify breast changes that may require medical attention.

In summary, non-oncologic mastology encompasses a broad spectrum of benign breast disorders, aimed at improving women’s breast health without implying the presence of cancer. Non-oncologic mastologists are trained to treat these conditions using conservative, pharmacological or surgical methods, depending on the case.
