Episode 65: ENCORE: Can Breast Implants Cause Neurological Symptoms?


Listen Later

While breast implants or breast augmentation are generally considered safe and effective, there has been growing concern about their potential link to neurological symptoms. There have been several patients over the past years complaining about symptoms of neural inflammation such as brain fog, headache, sound sensitivity and light sensitivity.

And that’s why we’re here to shed light on this topic. In this episode, we’ll answer the concern of many as regards breast implants and whether or not they can cause neurological symptoms.

Can breast implants cause neurological symptoms?

Whenever a patient tells me they’re experiencing headaches, light and sound sensitivity and brain fog, my initial thought is that it is related to neural inflammation and environmental toxicity.

It must be determined whether or not the patient has been exposed to environmental toxins because these toxins would complicate neural inflammation. Many cases in Texas, Florida, California, and Georgie are rooted from this circumstance.

We really have to take into consideration the environment the patient is in. Being exposed to moist environments like being near rivers, oceans, lakes, or the like where there may be high mold counts which you’re unaware of triggers inflammation and other issues or complications in having breast implants.

If someone had a preexisting neurologic condition, this could certainly be worsened in conjunction with a mold exposure. And as we've discussed in our previous episodes, breast implants can be responsible for inflammation. Thus, these other disease processes can result in further inflammation and give you neurologic symptoms.

Some research studies provide that immune reactions triggered by the breast implants, such as inflammation or an autoimmune response, may contribute to the development of neurological symptoms. Other factors like genetic predisposition, pre-existing medical conditions, and individual patient characteristics may also affect the development of neurological symptoms in some patients with breast implants.

Identifying the Signs of Neural Inflammation

We conduct a lot of tests to really identify the issues and further understand what’s happening. We have toxicity testing and inflammation testing which greatly helps in resolving these issues.

As much as possible, we try to start everybody on Dr. Rob’s Solutions Immune Support bundle for the stimulation of the system to excrete the toxins in the urine. Consequently, we'll have a better idea on how to characterize and develop treatment plans.

We closely and regularly monitor the patient to see how they’re managing their inflammation. We check for signs and symptoms of specific inflammatory processes to determine what we can do to provide them help.

More than the help we provide, we make sure our patients are cared for as we help them throughout their healing journey. So what we always do is be as comprehensive as possible.
