| Sumario: | OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of breast hypertrophy on the incidence of back pain and how much they can interfere in patients' daily activities. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional analytic study in patients examined at the Outpatient Orthopedics and Plastic Surgery Departments at Samuel Libânio University Hospital in Pouso Alegre, MG. 100 women were examined, 50 presenting breast hypertrophy (study group) and 50 with normal breast size (control group). Breasts were classified according to Sacchini's criteria. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and the Roland-Morris questionnaire were used in order to evaluate the magnitude of back pain and the limitations arising from these symptoms. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients in the study group was 32.2 years and 32.7 for the control group. The scores in the NRS scale and Roland- Morris Questionnaire were higher in the study group when compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: The results achieved showed that back pain is more severe and determined more extensive limitations in the daily activities for patients presenting breast hypertrophy. |
