• Abstract:

  Breast surgeries, including mastectomies, breast reductions, and reconstructions, are increasingly common due to rising breast cancer rates, advancements in surgical techniques, and preventive health measures. These surgeries differ in their objectives and have significant implications for a woman's hormonal balance. Hormonal integrity is crucial for various physioBreast surgeries, including mastectomies, breast reductions, and reconstructions, are increasingly common due to rising breast cancer rates, advancements in surgical techniques, and preventive health measures. These surgeries differ in their objectives and have significant implications for a woman's hormonal balance. Hormonal integrity is crucial for various physiological processes, and disruptions caused by breast surgeries can lead to substantial health impacts. The hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis plays a vital role in regulating female sex hormones, and surgical stress can adversely affect this system, leading to hormonal imbalances. Studies have documented various hormonal changes following breast surgeries, necessitating vigilant monitoring and personalized management to mitigate these effects and optimize patient outcomes.logical processes, and disruptions caused by breast surgeries can lead to substantial health impacts.
