“…Em vista disso, destaca-se a importância da reconstrução mamária para refletir na redução do trauma causado pela retirada das mamas, assim como já verificado por alguns estudos, que mulheres com mamas reconstruídas após a realização da mastectomia, apresentaram-se mais satisfeitas com a sua aparência, acarretando em uma melhor qualidade de vida pósoperatória (Aygin & Cengiz, 2018;Segura et al, 2017).…”

Mulheres acometidas pelo câncer de mama são submetidas constantemente a mastectomia, como principal forma de tratamento. Nesse momento, diversos sentimentos perpassam desde o diagnóstico ao tratamento, em razão da importância desse órgão à figura feminina. Para tanto, buscou-se analisar os aspectos envolvidos na autoestima de mulheres com câncer de mama e/ou submetidas à mastectomia. Para o alcance do objetivo, foi realizado um estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura de natureza qualitativa e caráter descritivo. Após leitura integral de 60 estudos indexados nas bases de dados da SciELO, BVS, LILACS, PubMed e Science Direct, obtidos a partir do cruzamento entre os descritores, selecionou-se 14 artigos científicos nos idiomas inglês (50%), português (35,7%) e espanhol (14,3%), com predominância no ano de 2019 (35,8%), seguido de 2018 (28,6%) e 2017 (21,4%), enquanto 2020 e 2021 apresentaram o mesmo quantitativo (7,1%). Nesse contexto, dentre os sentimentos negativos mais prevalentes em mulheres mastectomizadas, destacam-se sensações de inferioridade, sintomas de depressão, vergonha, isolamento, pessimismo, alterações na imagem corporal e satisfação sexual. Portanto, ressalta-se a importância da rede de apoio e da reconstrução mamária, por refletir positivamente na diminuição dos sintomas desencadeados nas diversas situações em que as mulheres perpassam durante sua luta contra o câncer de mama.

“…As a result, they may feel helpless, sad, and anxious about their changing life situation. It is important to assess whether they will be able to cope with the limitations associated with their disease and remain independent in their everyday life [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

The aim: To assess the quality of life in women after mastectomy. Materials and methods: The study included 25 women after mastectomy. The patients were aged 31 to over 50 years and were members of a breast cancer support group at the Holy Cross Cancer Centre in Kielce. During group meetings, the patients underwent rehabilitation and worked with psychologists and social workers. Results: Most women after mastectomy who underwent breast reconstruction or wore breast prostheses reported a better quality of life. Mastectomy affects ipsilateral upper limb function and causes difficulty with activities of daily living, such as cleaning, cooking, brushing hair, bathing, and dressing. Conclusions: 1. All women who rated their health as poor experienced such negative emotions as sadness, low mood, dejection. 2. Mastectomy affects ipsilateral upper limb function. 3. Breast reconstruction after mastectomy improves patient-rated quality of life. 4. Pain in the ipsilateral upper limb is considerably more common in women with a limited range of motion. 5. All women who participated in breast cancer support group meetings found support there and the time they spent together resulted in an improved quality of life.

“…The nipple is the most sensitive part of the breast and as nipple stimulation is a key element of the erotic experience that heightens arousal for many women, the total loss of breast sensation for many women can be devastating, despite reconstruction yielding positive visual results. Because reconstructed nipples are numb, they do not respond to hot/cold or to touch [76]. Women who undergo reconstruction with implants also may find that the implants feel unnatural, heavy, or uncomfortable.…”
