Patient's question:
Today, the unit organized a physical examination and found breast calcification.Doctor's answer:
Calcifications in the breast refer to calcium deposits that can be seen on a mammogram. There are two types of breast calcifications: macrocalcifications and microcalcifications. Macrocalcifications are usually degenerative changes within the breast, often caused by previous injury, inflammation, or the aging of breast arteries, and are typically unrelated to cancer.
