Thoracic externality is mainly due to external expansion of thorax or displacement of mammary glands to both sides, which needs to be treated conservatively or surgically according to the patient’s individual condition.
1. Extrathoracic dilatation: common causes of extrathoracic dilatation include chicken chest and funnel chest, which are mostly caused by calcium deficiency or vitamin D deficiency during development, and may also be caused by congenital developmental abnormalities.
If it does not affect the patient’s physical function, especially the respiratory function is in good condition, and the cardiopulmonary organs are functioning well, it does not need to be treated for the time being. If the respiratory function is affected due to the obvious external expansion of the thorax, especially the function of heart and lung organs is abnormal, timely surgical repair is needed.
2. Mammary gland displacement to both sides: Mammary gland displacement may be caused by abnormal development of the mammary gland, or due to mammary gland pathology resulting in changes in the shape of the mammary gland. After consulting a doctor, the specific condition of the breast can be analyzed through breast ultrasound, molybdenum target and other examination items.
For patients with benign lesions with insignificant symptoms, symptomatic treatment is the mainstay for the time being to monitor the development of the lesions. If breast pain occurs, you can take ibuprofen and other drugs under the guidance of the doctor to promote the symptoms to subside.
It is recommended that patients go to regular hospitals in a timely manner and receive treatment as prescribed by the doctor.
