Why individualized treatment of granulomatous mastitis is advocated Individualized treatment means that the treatment is “individualized” and “tailored to the individual”, and that a safe, reasonable, effective, and economical treatment plan is developed based on full consideration of each patient’s different conditions, pathogenic factors, and treatment wishes. We will develop a safe, reasonable, effective, and economical treatment plan on the basis of each patient’s different conditions, pathogenic factors, and treatment wishes. In other words, the most suitable plan for the individual. As with all diseases, the treatment of granulomatous mastitis should be individualized. The reasons for this are: 1. Individualized treatment is the general direction of medicine Individualized treatment is being applied in various diseases. For example, for the same cardiovascular system diseases, the same aspirin and clopidogrel are taken, but because of the difference in genotype, there will be a great difference in the amount of medication used. For the same breast cancer, patients with different age, size of the mass, lymph node metastasis and hormone receptor status will have great differences in treatment, and without differentiation, all breast cancers are given extensive surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and patients with intraductal cancer and early breast cancer will have the problem of being over-treated, which could have been completely breast-conserving and did not need radiotherapy, and some patients The over-treatment not only makes the patients suffer from huge financial loss, but also face the pain of losing their breast and suffering from the risk of radiotherapy. By developing a comprehensive program that is reasonably tailored to individual circumstances, then treatment can be more effective and reduce many side effects. The treatment of any disease should be individualized, and so should the treatment of granulomatous mastitis. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this. The causes of granulomatous mastitis are diverse, such as nipple entrapment, the presence of bacterial infection, autoimmune abnormalities, increased lactogen, trauma, and emotional causes are all known causes of granulomatous mastitis or a particular stage of abnormal pathogenesis. Each patient’s condition is different, for example, some patients have increased lactogen, some have infections, and some have significant immune abnormalities. The presence of hyperprolactin without prolactin-lowering therapy may result in longer treatment cycles, while the presence of hyperprolactin without prolactin-lowering therapy may increase the cost and side effects for the patient. Failure to correct an invaginated nipple increases the chances of recurrence, while those with an invaginated nipple do not require related treatment. If the treatment cannot be targeted to the specific situation of the patient and all pairs adopt a uniform treatment plan, there is bound to be over or under treatment. 3. The patient’s wishes are a prerequisite for treatment Although there are a variety of treatment options available for granulomatous mastitis, as with the treatment of any disease, medical decisions are not solely the decision of the physician, but also require consultation with the patient’s wishes. In most cases of granulomatous mastitis, the conservative approach is fully curative, but requires a certain period of treatment, while the surgical approach, although more invasive, allows the lesion to be removed in a short period of time with satisfactory follow-up. There are also some patients who undergo conservative treatment to reduce the size of the lesion first, and then undergo surgery to remove the lesion. The choice of treatment depends not only on the experience of the surgeon but also on the choice of the patient. As with breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer, not all patients who are suitable for breast-conserving have the desire to do so, and not all patients who have the desire to do so meet the requirements for breast-conserving. It is not only the doctor’s level of performance, but also the joint efforts of the doctor and the patient.
