Abstract:
:The aim of this study is to compare patients with and without mastalgia and to analyze the factors affecting mastalgia and its severity. The patient's age, height, weight, educational status, marital status, and occupation were recorded in all subjects. In addition, the women were asked about the presence of any risk factors for mastalgia, such as tea and coffee consumption, smoking, alcohol consumption, and weight gain. The sternal notch to nipple distance (SNND) was measured to determine whether there was breast sagging. Mastalgia was significantly more common in women with BMIs of > 30 kg/m2 (OR: 2.94, CI 1.65-5.24), those who were primary school graduates or illiterate (OR: 2.96, CI 1.6-5.46), and those with SNND values of 22-25 cm (OR: 2.94, CI 1.79-4.82). In these women, drinking more than 6 cups of tea a day (OR: 2.15, CI 1.32-3.5), smoking at least 10 cigarettes a day (OR: 2.94, CI 1.78-4.83), and drinking alcohol at least once a week (OR: 2.1, CI 1.12-3.91) were found to be important factors that increased the risk of mastalgia. As a result, it has been found that severe mastalgia complaints cause by obesity, sagging breasts, never giving birth, unemployment anxiety, regular smoking, alcohol use, and excessive tea consumption.
