Breast cancer has always been a disease puzzling many women. The authoritative global mammography survey shows that 2%~4% of the normal population are untouchable breast diseases, of which 20%~30% are malignant diseases. So finding early breast disease and preventing it before it happens is the focus of breast cancer prevention and treatment, and early breast cancer can be cured. Therefore, correct prevention of breast cancer is very important, and it is necessary to stay away from breast cancer if you want to live a healthy life.
1、 What is breast cancer?
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, and its incidence rate is relatively high. Breast cancer is simply because the breast epithelial cells have proliferated, and after a long time, the cells in the proliferating part have become cancerous, forming canceration. At present, breast cancer can be divided into invasive non-specific cancer, invasive specific cancer and other rare cancers. It mainly manifests as hard lumps in the breast gland, which feel very hard and not smooth when palpated, and are closely related to the surrounding tissues. When breast cancer is enlarged, enlarged lymph nodes can also be felt in the ipsilateral armpit.
2、 How to prevent breast cancer?
First of all, pay attention to diet. Obesity is one of the risk factors for inducing breast cancer. It is very important to develop reasonable eating habits. In daily life, it is important to control the intake of animal fat and protein, consume appropriate amounts of plant-based fats, and also limit the intake of canned foods, as these can lead to obesity. It is recommended to eat more vegetables, fruits, etc., eat less fried and smoked foods, and avoid spicy, greasy, and stimulating foods. Add more dietary fiber to keep the body within a reasonable weight range. It is also very important to avoid smoking and drinking, because smoking may cause a variety of cancers, which may lead to the occurrence of breast cancer. Some female friends always wear tight bras in order to maintain their good appearance. Long term wearing may affect the local lymphatic fluid reflux, and the body may not be able to timely discharge harmful substances, leading to normal cells becoming cancerous. Proper exercise is also very important because it can control weight and maintain women at reasonable hormone levels. At the same time, it is necessary to stay away from the interference of ionizing radiation. Long term use of cosmetics containing estrogen and long-term use of contraceptives will increase the risk of breast cancer. If you want to prevent breast cancer, you should stay away from these risk factors. Advocate age appropriate marriage and childbearing, avoid induced abortion, and promote breastfeeding. Late marriage and abortion are all risk factors for inducing breast cancer. Because some studies have found that late marriage, late childbirth and late lactation are the three risk factors leading to the high incidence of breast cancer. Women who give birth to their first child before the age of 35 and breastfeed have a much lower risk of breast cancer than those who give birth again after the age of 35. Because the secretion of progesterone increases after pregnancy, which counteracts estrogen, and the level of estrogen in lactating women is lower. Estrogen may stimulate breast epithelial cells, and high levels are easy to induce breast cancer.
Summary: It is suggested that female friends should keep good living habits, keep regular work and rest, maintain emotional stability, avoid the use of drugs containing hormones, avoid the stimulation of alcohol and tobacco, do not contact radioactive substances, reduce the stimulation of the breast, and thus reduce the incidence of breast cancer.
