ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The primary aim of this study was to explore the involvement of cervical discopathy in the development of non-cyclic mastalgia by employing cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
A total of 407 patients were included in the study. Individualized management plans were developed for each patient. Pathological findings in MRI results were assessed by specialists in physical therapy and neurosurgery, and appropriate treatment was administered. Visual assessments of patients were conducted. The Analog Scale (VAS) scoring system was used at the initial presentation, and patients were evaluated at 1 and 3 months following the treatment.RESULTS:
In the MRI examinations of the patients included in the study, simultaneous cervical disc protrusion was observed in 29% (n 124) of those with annular bulging. Comparing the VAS scores of patients before treatment, at the 1st and at the 3rd month showed a significant decrease in mastalgia pain (p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
The diagnosis of cervical discopathy holds significant importance in the treatment of mastalgia patients. Therefore, clinicians should keep the cervical spine in mind as a potential contributing factor to mastalgia.
