Breast cancer, for many women, should not be unfamiliar.
The data show that breast cancer has become the most important cause of cancer death among women.
As with other cancers, the early symptoms of breast cancer are not obvious.
Since the early onset of breast cancer is not very pronounced, women rarely notice the emergence of breast cancer. Once the disease further worsens, it will increase the difficulty of treatment and even endanger the safety of patients' lives.
Unfortunately, early detection of breast cancer is not small
Breast screening is one of the options for early detection of breast cancer.
According to the recommendations of the Guidelines and Norms for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Breast Cancer of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association (2013 Edition----
"The role of mammography in reducing breast cancer mortality in women over the age of 40 has been recognized by most scholars abroad ... However, breast screening for non-high-risk groups is not recommended for women aged 20-39 years."
Why not recommend breast screening for young women?
Mainly young women themselves have a low incidence of breast cancer, and breast tissue is relatively dense, in the breast X-ray examination, X-ray will be poor penetration of this part of the tissue, so it is difficult to diagnose and distinguish.
Coupled with the fact that breast tissue itself is susceptible to radiation damage, breast screening for young women is not a recommended option.
Because of this, it is more difficult for young women to detect breast cancer early.
Breast screening is recommended for high-risk women
The frequency of screening varies for women of different ages.
Those with high-risk factors need to appropriately increase the frequency of screening, and it is recommended to use color ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging to reduce radiation intake.
1. People with severe breast hyperplasia
Breast hyperplasia is a normal phenomenon and not yet a disease.
However, if the breast is proliferating all the time, it will threaten the health of the breast gland, because breast hyperplasia is an abnormal case of estrogen secretion, and excessive estrogen will constantly stimulate the growth of the breast.
If this situation is not resolved in time, the later stage of the breast is prone to further deterioration, which eventually leads to breast disease and even accompanied by breast cancer.
Therefore, women with severe breast hyperplasia problems also need to seek medical advice in time if necessary.
2. Women with habitual miscarriage
Women with recurrent miscarriages are also at high risk of breast cancer.
Women with habitual miscarriage generally have a fragile function of the uterus, their own conditioning ability is not strong, and once the abortion is extremely serious, the damage to the body is also extremely serious.
In addition, the hormones in women who often miscarry are also unstable, which can easily affect their health, especially the health of the breast.
3. Women who have undergone radiation therapy for a long time
Regular radiation therapy can also increase the risk of breast cancer.
Although radiation therapy can alleviate other diseases, there is some damage to the body due to radiation, and there are side effects. Especially when treating breast diseases, frequent radiation therapy can easily lead to breast cancer.
Due to self-treatment, when radioactive therapy is required, not only should we pay attention to the protection of the breast, but also need to reduce the harm of radiation through drugs under the guidance of a doctor, so as not to affect the health of the breast and induce unnecessary breast diseases.
Breasts are an important organ for women, and breast health is also related to women's physical health.
Therefore, for those who have a habitual miscarriage and need long-term radiation therapy, they should pay attention to the health of the breast in their daily lives, and it is best to have regular physical examinations.
At the same time, it should also be noted that if there is pain in the breast, it is a pathological phenomenon, and it should be examined and treated in the hospital in time, and the health should not be affected by personal negligence.
