Pstt PSYchiatry

i am learning psychiatry right now. 8 weeks of rotation. It should be interesting, isn't it? Despite the day long lectures for the past week which at some point threw us into a 'vomiting' sensation. Hehehe. Tak baik suka mengeluh. ;)

It was actually a very interesting posting. Bila lagi nak belajar tentang penyakit-penyakit mental kan? I think i wanna read a lot during the posting. Amin... hehee. May the mind-setting becomes a reality. insha Allah

And actually i was wondering, which one is the real truth... Adakah pengalaman-pangalaman aneh itu benar-benar wujud tapi disalahertikan sebagai sakit mental (psychiatry) ataukah mungkin memang benar keanehan-keanehan itu tidak wujud, dan mereka benar-benar mengalami halusinasi seorang diri. Kerana kalau hendak diikutkan, kita semua mungkin pernah sahaja mengalami seperti mereka. Entah, hhe sukar hendak dikupaskan di sini. Hurm... we'll learn slowly. Basically, to me psychiatry is not more than a study of human being with no medical evidence. Ia cuma kajian yang telah dibuat untuk membaikpulih masalah-masalah jiwa dan perasaan yang tidak tampak pada mata kasar. melalui kaedah pengubatan. Sedangkan punca sebenar memang tidak dapat diketahui melainkan semuanya anggapan-anggapan yang diyakini benar.

Kajian manusia memang terbatas, takkan pernah dapat mengetahui semua ketetapanNya kerana sesungguhnya ilmu pengetahuan ALLAH itu amatlah luas. ... subhanallah

Talking bout Fibroadenoma

mood : sleepy, little bit hungry, lower back pain

What is Fibroadenoma?

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Fibroadenoma is the most common benign tumor of the breast and the most common breast tumor in women under age 30.

A fibroadenoma is made up of breast gland tissue and tissue that helps support the breast gland tissue.

Black women tend to develop fibroadenomas more often and at an earlier age than white women. The cause of fibroadenomas is not known.

Symptoms

Fibroadenomas are usually single lumps, but about 10 - 15% of women have several lumps that may affect both breasts.

Lumps may be:

• Easily moveable under the skin

• Firm

• Painless

• Rubbery

They have smooth, well-defined borders. They may grow in size, especially during pregnancy. Fibroadenomas often get smaller after menopause (if a woman is not taking hormone replacement therapy).

Signs and tests

After a physical examination, one or both of the following tests are usually done:

• Breast ultrasound

• Mammogram

A core needle biopsy may be done to get a definite diagnosis. Women in their teens or early 20s may not need a biopsy if the lump goes away on its own or if the lump does not change over a long period of time.

For more information on the different types of breast biopsies, see:

• Breast biopsy - open

• Breast biopsy - stereotaxic

• Breast biopsy - ultrasound (core needle)

Treatment

If a biopsy shows that the lump is a fibroadenoma, the lump may be left in place or removed.

The decision to remove the lump is made by the patient and the surgeon. Reasons to have it removed include:

• Abnormal biopsy results

• Pain or other symptoms occur

• Worry or concern about cancer

If the lump is not removed, your health care provider will watch to see if it changes or grows. This may be done using

• Mammogram

• Physical examination

• Ultrasound

Sometimes, the lump may be destroyed without removing it, using freezing. This is called cryoablation.

Expectations (prognosis)

Women with fibroadenoma have a slightly higher risk of breast cancer later in life. Lumps that are not removed should be checked regularly by physical exams and imaging tests, following the doctor's recommendations.

Complications

If the lump is left in place and carefully watched, it may need to be removed at a later time if it changes or grows.

In very rare cases, the lump may be cancer. You may need further treatment.
