BREAST CASE STUDY #3 

Estrogen Dominance. 

This patient presented with pain and tenderness in both breasts.

IMAGE A

The image above shows a display of large hot blood vessels extending across the upper half of both breasts (You may also notice that there is more going on in the left breast, but for now we will focus on these other findings.).

This thermovascular display is commonly seen in patients with a suspected estrogen dominant state of the breasts.

Since the greatest single risk factor for the development of breast cancer is lifetime exposure to estrogen, this finding may be very important in the prevention of breast cancer.

In order to confirm the condition, the patient was referred to her doctor for an examination and further testing. Her follow-up exam and testing confirmed the estrogen dominance.

IMAGE B

After undergoing treatment, the image above shows a significant decrease in blood vessels, blood vessel size, and heat across the breasts.

You may also notice the overall improvement in the left breast.

The patient’s left breast was a TH4 (abnormal) in the first image (Image A) and is now a TH3 (questionable).

The patient underwent specific treatment for her estrogen dominance and separate treatment for her TH4 breast.

Her images show significant improvement with near normalization of the hormone balance in her breasts.

Her previous symptoms of pain and tenderness had also resolved.

Thermography was able to warn this patient of her increased risk for breast cancer due to the estrogen dominance.

With this information in-hand she was able to get the treatment she needed to lower her risk for future breast cancer.
