In pre-historic European communities were pictures of women with oversized breasts normally. A familiar example is the Venus of Willendorf, one of many images with wide hips and large breasts. Objects as sacred statues, bowls and sculptures depicted with breasts out, tribes from around 15,000 BC. across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Many female divine figures were associated with breasts and breast milk. In images of the Phoenician goddess Astarte was depicted as a pillar of the breasts. Isis, an Egyptian goddess who was among others to perfect motherhood, was often depicted as a pharaoh gave breastfeeding. Even male deities representing the reproduction or fertility were sometimes depicted with, like the Egyptian river god Hapy, who was responsible for the annual flooding of the Nile.

Female breasts were also present at the Minoan many people in the form of statues of the slangodinnen. In ancient Greece there were several groups that the lactating mother (Kourotrophos), represented by goddesses such as Gaia, Hera and Artemis worshiped. The worship of deities symbolized by breasts was lower in the first millennium (BC). The popular use of the loving goddess took off properly during the rise of the Greek city states.

In the middle of the first millennium BC, the Greek culture underwent a gradual change in the perception of breasts. Women were depicted in art from their necks thinks of clothes. The same applied to goddesses like Athena. However, there were exceptions: Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was often depicted naked, but in attitudes that embarrassment or virtue portrayed. Naked men were often depicted standing upright, but most naked women bent over slightly and as close to a garment in a defensive pose.

Inverted nipples – the nipple should be in principle out to stabbing, or at least do so where the nipple is hard. Some women and men a nipple from birth are withdrawn, the nipple is inside is repealed. This is a benign disorder, which women alone can sometimes cause problems when they wish to breastfeed. If a nipple is always the normal form and had suddenly become withdrawn, a woman (but also a man) is always about the minors. More than two nipples – extra nipples (polythelie) come to 1% of the population in the form of one or two pink spots on the milk list, usually below the normal nipples, sometimes far into the armpit, which often are a mole since. Even entire extra breasts are possible (polymastie).

Non-congenital abnormalities
Inflammation: a woman’s breasts may become inflamed after a serious injury or bruising, or infection with a bacterium. More often happens that a milk gland in one of the two breasts inflamed when a woman breastfeeding (mastitis puerperalis). The intense inflammation can be painful with high fever, pain and abscess formation.

Cysts: These are fluid-filled cavities in the chest, which can be painful and can feel like a lump.
Fibroadenoma: these are benign lumps in the breast, which can be painful.
Fibrocystic breast changes is an exception where the coarser structure of the breast, sometimes with pain.
NB. If you feel a lump, it is necessary to go to the doctor to go to a malignant disease should be excluded. The prospects are better as a tumor is detected earlier. Time loss worsens the odds.

Malignant abnormalities
In the Western world, approximately one in nine women during her lifetime breast cancer (medical term: breast cancer) develop.
A special form of breast cancer was initially confined to the breast skin, this is Paget’s disease of the nipple called. In eczema of the nipple eczema not responding to treatment, especially if it is unilateral, this must be considered.

• Breastfeeding baby

The main function of the milk glands in the female breast is feeding the baby with milk. During lactation the milk flowing from the milk glands corridors through milk to the nipple. Milk production is influenced by the hormone prolactin. This hormone prepares the breasts during pregnancy even before the new job they will have given birth: the influence of prolactin, the quantity of milk in the breast tissue is greater. When a baby sucks the nipple, or sometimes even when the mother hears her baby cry, the hormone oxytocin is released into the body of the mother. This squeezes the muscle surrounding the milk glands to contract, allowing the milk to the nipple forthcoming. Both small and large breasts tend to produce enough breast. The interaction between mother and baby adjusts the amount of milk produced per day, usually just to the needs of the baby.

• Sexual function

Many men find attractive and female breasts may become sexually aroused by seeing or touching of breasts. There are therefore special clothes and underwear designed to emphasize the breasts. Bikini models are also popular by the fact that these men excited. Women may also be sexually aroused by the fact that their partner during sexual contact stimulates the breasts. These facts could explain that during the evolution of female breasts developed.

At birth, both girls and two boys nipples and a very small amount of breast tissue. The hormones that the baby’s mother with us, they soon after birth as swelling of the breast tissue and even exhibit some milky fluid from the nipples secrete. This can be done by boys and girls and this phenomenon is called witch’s always milk and naturally. During puberty a girl’s breasts begin to grow, while they go through different stages. The breasts grow by adding more fat and arises because the milk gland tissue will develop. When a woman is pregnant for the first time, there is still a developing place in the breasts to prepare them for their role in feeding the baby. The breasts are usually higher during pregnancy.

Possible link between silicone and cancer

A rare form of non-Hodgkin’s cancer in the breast is more common in women with silicone implants. That letter from the Amsterdam Cancer Institute researchers in the international medical journal JAMA. It is a very rare form of cancer in the breast is not breast cancer. Per one million women with silicone implant according to the researchers get one to three women per year to the disease.

Small risk

In the Netherlands, about 300,000 women with silicone implant. The researchers themselves do not worry, just because the risk of the cancer type is so small. In the 1994-2006 period is eleven of the 389 women with lymphoma (a malignant tumor of the lymphatic tissue) in the chest, this rare form of non-Hodgkin’s cancer. Five of these eleven women had a silicone implant.

The breast is usually the female breast indicated: every woman has two breasts that they breast-feed her baby. Breasts are a secondary sexual characteristic of women, and also sexual functions. The Latin word for breast is mamma (plural: mammae, the scientific name for the class mammals is also Mammalia), this term is now used in the medical world still. Sometimes with “chest” also referred to the chest, as in the phrase “snap” or “near the chest. Other mammals have breasts, which they suckle their young, though more often called milk glands or udders.

Depression is often divided into subtypes based on the symptoms exhibited.

• Monopolar depression and dysthymic disorder

For pure unipolar depression is depressive symptoms. Mild cases of unipolar disorder that affects a person’s ability to work and social activities are often called dysthymic disorder.

• Bipolar disorder (manic-depressive) disorder and cyclothymic

In this condition there are periods with symptoms of Depression – the depressive phase, alternating with periods of increased levels of mood with increased physical and mental activity – the manic phase. Maniac phase, the person also sleep poorly and have trouble concentrating. Mild forms of this disease is called cyclothymic disorder.

• Manic Disorder

This condition is normally characterized by elevated mood, by unrealistic optimism, by lack of sleep and by hyperactive behavior. Many psychiatrists think that this is the same disease as bipolar disorder in which the face of depression has not happened.

• Depression with mainly physical symptoms . Physical symptoms of depression are sometimes alone or dominant, such as digestive problems, constipation, difficulty with urination, slow response to sensorial stimuli or slow physical reactions.

Depression is a complex psychological and physical symptoms. The level of sadness or low mood is often the most prominent symptom. General characteristics of these symptoms is a decreased level of activity in the brain.

Symptoms of depression

Depression can provide one or more of these symptoms:

- Low level of humor or sadness.
- Lack of joy or interest in activities previously fun.
- Pessimism.
- Feeling guilty about something without any substantial reason to feel that way.
- Thoughts of inferiority.
- Irritability.
- Slow process of thought.
- Delays in the interpretation of sensory stimuli.
- Slow digestion or other internal physical processes, and symptoms caused by this delay, for example inflated stomach, constipation or difficult urination.
- Slow physical reactions.

Depression can be a mild disease that only causes some discomfort in everyday life, but can also be very serious and make a person unable to work full and unable to participate in social life. By depression of some severity, there is also an increased risk of suicide.

Depression can occur in all age groups. In teenagers lack of interest in school work, withdrawal from social life and difficult mood can be signs of depression.

Physiological changes that produce symptoms

For depression there was a decrease in the neurotransmitter in the parts of the central nervous system, mainly deficiency of serotonin, but also to some extend of noradrenalin, acetylcholine, dopamine or gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), or nerve cells do not respond well by stimulation from neurotransmitters. A neurotransmitter is a signal substance that emits a signal through a nerve junction between two nerve cells.

Nerve cells causing serotonin and noradrenaline to send impulses along nerve cells, and thus increase activity in the brain. This deficiency causes slowness in parts of the brain, and that again causes the symptoms of depression.

The role of GABA is the opposite, namely to delay some nerve impulses, especially those that cause anxiety and panic responses. Lack of GABA causes higher anxiety and panic responses easier. However, the lack of this transmitter also seems to cause symptoms of depression. This is because a too high activity in some brain processes may slow down other processes.
