Breast cancer, Presumably everyone knows something.
Especially those female artists we are familiar with, whether it is Taiwanese singer Asan, or "Lin sister" Chen Xiaoxu, or Yao Beina, who are at the most beautiful age, they encounter a common killer---- breast cancer.
The loss of these young lives is saddening, but it also knocks on us: breast cancer has become the most important cause of cancer death for young women.
But many people's understanding of breast cancer is only to stay in the late stage of fatality, do not know too much about itself, and even fall into many misunderstandings, which will not only delay the treatment of the disease, but also affect the judgment of breast cancer patients.
These common breast cancer myths need to be understood
1. Is the bra the causative factor of breast cancer?
Some people think that wearing a tight and inappropriate bra will cause compression of the lymphatic system around the breast, resulting in excessive accumulation of toxins in the breast, thus increasing the chance of breast cancer, in fact, this statement has been confirmed to have no scientific basis. However, wearing underwear with excessive breast augmentation can indeed cause breast discomfort, so it is better to avoid it as much as possible.
2. The larger the chest, the easier it is to attract breast cancer?
The breast size factor has nothing to do with the mammary glands themselves, but rather as a result of fat accumulation. The mammary gland is made up of about 25 lobes, and breast cancer is present on these lobes and has nothing to do with fat itself. Therefore, people with large breasts have a high incidence of breast cancer, which does not have a scientific basis.
3, breast cancer is equal to death, do not have to waste money treatment?
Breast cancer is detected early and treated in time, and the patient's chance of survival will be significantly improved within five years, and even some patients will not make a comeback in the next ten years. So breast cancer treatment is absolutely necessary, don't be afraid that surgery will change your breasts, what is more important than life?
4, there is no lump in the breast, I certainly do not have breast cancer
Although a lump is a major symptom of cancer, the symptoms of breast cancer are not only this, early breast cancer may only be a change in breast symmetry, abnormal changes in the surface of the skin, nipple secretions, etc., which are all breast cancer lesion signals. So just looking at the lump is absolutely incorrect, and any abnormal signs of the breast cannot be ignored.
5. Breast hyperplasia is breast cancer?
Breast hyperplasia and breast cancer are definitely not one nature, and usually breast hyperplasia changes with the menstrual period of a woman. But breast cancer is different, breast cancer will only get worse and worse, and it will never recover on its own. The main point is that breast hyperplasia and cancer are separated by thousands of mountains, so patients with hyperplasia do not have to worry too much.
6, soy products have estrogen, eat too much will get breast cancer?
The estrogen of soy products belongs to phytoestrogen, which has a two-way regulatory effect, if the level of estrogen in the body is small, it will supplement estrogen, if the level of estrogen is high, it has an inhibitory effect on estrogen. Therefore, eating more soy products does not increase the risk of breast cancer.
