Breast-friendly, starting with breast cancer.
What do you know about breast health? On the female body map, breasts are two gills that carry not only aesthetic meaning but also a symbol of mother love. However, mammography, especially breast cancer, is becoming the “first killer” of women’s health. Let’s start with the breast cancer.
Breast cancer. How far are we? Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant neoplasms in women, and, according to the World Health Organization, there are approximately 2 million new cases of breast cancer each year, and the incidence of breast cancer in our country is increasing every year. The incidence of breast cancer is linked to genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors, which make it necessary for every woman to know and care about breast cancer.
The “lights” for breast cancer, which often have no visible symptoms at an early stage, may be an early warning for breast cancer:
Breast swelling: The most common symptoms of breast cancer are usually painless, hard, and marginally irregular.
2. Skin change: Breast skin may be dented, orange skin changes or bruises.
Breast spills: Non-lactating nipple spills, especially blood spills, should be highlighted.
Breast infiltration: nipple infestation without cause, possibly a sign of breast cancer.
Breast pain: While breast cancer is usually not accompanied by pain, some patients may experience breast pain.
How can breast cancer be detected at an early stage? Early detection of breast cancer is key to improving the cure rate. The following are recommended methods of inspection:
Breast self-examination: once a month, preferably 7-10 days after menstruation.
Breast color: For women under 40 years of age, or as a supplementary examination for mammography.
Breast X-ray (mixed): Recommends women over 40 years of age to do so annually.
4. MRI screening: periodic MRI screening may be considered for groups at high risk of breast cancer.
Prevention of breast cancer, what can we do? Although the exact causes of breast cancer are not yet fully known, the following measures help to reduce the risk of morbidity:
Healthy diet: Increased consumption of vegetables, fruit and reduction of high fat and sugary foods.
2. Rational motion: a medium-intensity movement of at least 150 minutes per week.
3. Weight control: maintain healthy weight and avoid obesity.
4. Hormonal reduction treatment: Try to avoid the long-term use of hormone-type drugs.
5. Birth and lactation at appropriate age: Maternity and lactation help to reduce the risk of breast cancer.
VI. What should we do with breast cancer? If unfortunately diagnosed with breast cancer, the following recommendations may help you:
1. Stay calm: Breast cancer is not an incurable disease and many patients can survive through treatment.
2. Seeking professional treatment: opting for treatment in regular hospitals and professional teams of doctors.
3. Active cooperation: Following medical instructions, completing surgery, chemotherapy, decomposition, endocrine treatment, etc.
Psychological support: The support of family and friends is essential for the rehabilitation of patients.
