J'espere que tout cela t'aide a trouver la bonne solution. bonne chance! Et regarde la photo! tres utile

Drug Name: Self-examination breast pad

Company: Inventive Products
Approval Status: Approved on December 22, 1995
Treatment Area: breast self-examination


General Information

The medical device, consisting of a silicon-filled flexible circular plastic envelope 10 inches in diameter, is designed to reduce friction while women examine their breasts.

Clinical Results

Last month, the FDA received the results of a clinical study conducted in Japan. The study found that women who were trained in using the pad detected their own breast lumps almost as frequently as they were found by trained nurses also using the pad.

Additional Information

The pad is to be distributed only by health care providers and only to women who have received instructions in its proper use. The FDA announcement said that women should continue bare-handed breast self-examinations and maintain a schedule of regular breast examinations by a physician and annual mammograms.

Monthly breast self-examination (BSE) is recommended by cancer authorities as a routine good health habit for women 20 and older. Upwards of 75% of breast lumps subsequently diagnosed as cancer are first discovered by the woman herself.

Mammography is also recommended for breast cancer screening. A "baseline" mammogram is recommended for women between 35 and 39, and this initial screening can be compared against later mammograms as a further check. Women between 40 and 49 are advised to have a mammogram every 1 to 2 years, and women aged 50 and over, yearly.

As I was saying in the discussion rubric, breast pads are:
1. for breast size enhancement - not applicable
2. for breastfeeding women - NA either
3. and for pure medical purposes, as these ones, used to reduce friction and local irritation upon the self-examination of breasts for the detection of any eventual lump, possibly indicating a benign tumour or cancer in an early stage, when treatment is effective and the relapse rate after surgical removal minimal to zero.
Please check my references below, I have no doubt this is the right answer. You have a picture, all the medical instructions.
I don't think there is place for any doubt, whatsoever. thank you all
