“Know about breast cancer, protecting breast health.”
Breast cancer has become one of the world’s “killers” of women’s health, but if we know it well enough, we can better protect our breast health.
Breast cancer is a malignant tumour that occurs in the mammography. The causes of morbidity are complex and are linked to multiple factors. On the one hand, genetic factors cannot be ignored, and if there are relatives in the family who have breast cancer, the risk of self-emergence increases. For example, the rate of cancer among women carrying mutations of genes such as BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 has increased significantly. On the other hand, the way of life has a considerable impact. Poor habits such as long-term high-fat diets, overdrinking and lack of exercise may contribute to hormonal imbalances in the body and thus increase the likelihood of disease.
The symptoms of breast cancer require our attention. The most common are breast swelling, most of which is hard, irregular and less mobile. In some cases, there is also a milk spill, which may be blood, plasma, etc. Breast skin can also change, as it looks like orange skin, as a result of the clogged carcinoma of the lymphocyte under the skin, as well as nipples, ulcers, e.g. nipple concussions.
However, there is no need to be overly alarmed in the detection of these symptoms, as it is not necessarily breast cancer. However, medical examinations must be conducted in a timely manner, often with breast ultrasound, which clearly identifies the cysts or physicality of the swelling in the breast tissue; mammograms, which are useful for early detection of pathologies such as microcalcification; and MRI, which allows for a more accurate assessment of the condition.
Early detection of breast cancer is significant because of the limitations of tumours and the high rate of cure through a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, decomposition and endocrine treatment. For example, early breast cancer patients have a survival rate of around 90 per cent over five years.
To prevent breast cancer, we can start from day to day. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet, more fruits and vegetables, and reduced intake of high fat and sugar food; moderate exercise, with a certain weekly level of movement; and abdication of smoking and alcohol. At the same time, breast self-inspection is carried out on a regular basis, with a monthly period of about one week after the end of the menstruation, with a self-touching of the breast and an examination of anomalies such as swelling. In addition, women of appropriate age are advised to visit hospitals regularly for specialized breast examinations.
Learning about breast cancer, from now on, let us use knowledge to build a strong line of defence for breast health.
