Doctors say breast implants can trigger joint pain, fatigue, confusion, and even cancer:

Doctors say breast implants can cause joint pain, fatigue, confusion, and even cancer years after they’re placed, with doctors saying one of their top female cyclists feels better “within hours” after removing the devices.

Many women with enlarged breasts have reported experiencing a group of changes in their bodies colloquially known as “breast implant disease.”

But to date, doctors have only recognized a rare tumor of the immune system dependent on medical devices.

However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates medicinal products in the United States, is examining other reported side effects.

It’s unclear how the implants cause symptoms, but it’s thought to be related to the immune system attacking them and forming scar tissue.

Among the women who said the implants caused them pain was Danica Patrick, 40, one of the most successful NASCAR drivers in history, who began experiencing changes in her body four years after the surgery.

His symptoms included those of the FDA, but he also complained of hair loss, stomach issues, and weight gain, as some doctors noted.

Women get implants to adjust their breasts if their breasts are not the same size or to improve their appearance.

About 250,000 Americans have surgery each year for about $5,000 per procedure.

However, it’s unclear how many women would have complications at the time.

Approximately 110,000 surgeries are performed each year to replace or remove implants that need to be done every 10-20 years.

The FDA said online patients “report a variety of symptoms, including joint pain, body aches, confusion, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, and others.”

There are additional connective tissue problems along with symptoms such as breastfeeding and reproductive problems.

But to date, the institution has not recognized them as an implant-related disease.

Doctors at the Pennsylvania-based memecancer.org charity say the implants can also cause sleep disturbances, hair loss and stomach problems.

They say the symptoms are likely caused by someone with an immune response to the devices.

They say this causes inflammation, which leads to symptoms.

Dr. Lu-Jean Feng, a plastic surgeon at the Ohio clinic, said, “The immune system can react to the silicone polymers that are delivered to the body by the implant.

“Some people may have a genetic predisposition to be more reactive.”

Few studies have been done to determine how common these symptoms are in the disease.

However, it is in a similar position to “long Covid,” an umbrella term for a range of symptoms people experience after contracting the virus.

However, studies have linked breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) to surgery.

It is caused by a mutation in the immune system that attacks the implants and affects one in 1,000 people who have had surgery.

It is usually diagnosed after permanent swelling and a mass is detected in the implant area.

But cases are rarely fatal unless the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

Patrick got his implants in 2014 because at a young age he wanted to “have it all” and be more “ideal”.

But three years after surgery, he developed symptoms that were later attributed to the implants.

She wrote on Instagram: “Within a few hours, my face had more color and fewer dark circles, and my face started producing oil again.” Depicted before (left) and after (right) surgery.

She told Fox News: “My hair wasn’t very healthy. I had gained a few pounds and I didn’t know why. I didn’t feel that way.

Then she saw a dramatic change in her body after she hit menopause in 2021.

“My thyroid was low, my hormones were disabled. Nothing seemed to be working,” he said.

“My symptoms included hair loss, weight gain, heavy metal toxicity, leaky gut, and fatigue.

Thyroid was another big one. I believe the most common denominator is not necessarily a symptom. More like anything you do, you can’t make the symptoms go away”.

He had surgery to remove the implants in 2022 and says he “feels better” a few hours later.

Patrick said his face is getting more color and has fewer dark circles and is starting to remove oil again.

He also said he was able to breathe 30 percent deeper into his chest again, and when he woke up he had a lot more energy.
