Breast diseases, this hidden behind-the-scenes**, have quietly ascended to the throne of the top ten diseases of women's health, which is staggering. In recent years, its incidence rate has been rising year by year, and more than half of the women in our country have more or less had a history of entanglement.
Although breast cancer is the best among many cancers, its cunning lies in the fact that it is easy to metastasize to bone, and once it is slack, the effect will be like a grain of sand in an hourglass, quietly lost.
Therefore, it is particularly important to take care of and maintain it on a daily basis, as it is a strong fortress against the invasion of disease.
Breast cancer patients in China are diagnosed at an early age of onset, 10 to 15 years earlier than the average in Western countries.
However, the diagnosis time is late, and there are more patients in the middle and advanced stages, and the proportion of patients in the early stage is much lower than that in Europe and the United States.
In addition, due to late diagnosis and other reasons, the survival time is also shorter, which is lower than that of European and American countries.
These three characteristics have led to the incidence and mortality of breast cancer patients in China, which has brought great harm to countless Chinese women.
There are two peaks in breast cancer, one at the age of 40-50 and the other at the age of 60-70.
In addition, if you have frequent mood swings or a family history of breast cancer, you should also be careful. For women over the age of 35, regular breast exams are essential.
A simple self-examination after bathing every day is also an important step to protect your breasts. Check whether the breasts are symmetrical, whether there is a movable lump, whether there is significant pain, and whether there is discharge from the nipple. Seeking medical help as soon as any abnormalities are noticed is key.
Doctors repeatedly emphasize the importance of prevention and regular check-ups because the incubation period of breast cancer is staggeringly long, which can be as long as 20 years.
From breast hyperplasia to dysplasia, to carcinoma in situ and finally to invasive cancer, the whole process takes 20 years.
And this process can be broken down into several stages, each of which takes 5-6 years. Breast hyperplasia is very common in women, but not all growths can progress to breast cancer. The real risk is higher for women with dysplasia, who are really at high risk of breast cancer.
Therefore, breast health is very important for women's physical and mental health, and every woman should strengthen their awareness of prevention and treatment. As long as early prevention, early detection and early detection are achieved, the rate of breast cancer can be as high as 90%. So, let's focus on breast health from now on to protect the well-being of ourselves and our families.
Breast lumps:In the early stages of breast cancer, the most common symptom is the appearance of a breast lump. A few of these lumps will have a dull or stinging sensation. To the touch, the bump is usually hard in texture with irregular edges and difficult to push. **Depression:When cancer cells invade the ligaments between the gland and the gland, they will be pulled and form a unique depression, like a small dimple. If lymphatic return is blocked, it will gradually thicken, like orange peel. As the disease progresses, the degree of indentation will continue to worsen until the cancer cells invade the nipple and areola, causing the nipple to invert or even disappear completely behind the areola.
Swelling in the area near the breast:Breast swelling caused by breast cancer is very noticeable. Swelling and lumps may also occur in the collarbone or armpit area as cancer cells spread to nearby lymph nodes. These symptoms sometimes precede the detection of a breast lump. Nipple or breast abnormalities:People with breast cancer sometimes experience redness, dryness, flaking, and thickening of the nipples or breasts. Note, however, that these symptoms can also be caused by infection or irritation. Breast pain:Not all breast cancer patients experience breast pain. Many women may experience breast pain during their menstrual cycle, but if the pain persists for a longer period of time or becomes severe, it should be a sign of breast cancer or other breast disease.
