A distress signal given three or five years before the onset of breast cancer! Find it in advance, use it for a lifetime!

Breast cancer is a neoplastic disease with a very high incidence in women and is always in the top few places. Preventing breast cancer, which is becoming more and more insidious, has become an important issue for women!

Now that you know the severity of breast cancer, you definitely want to know more about how to prevent breast cancer. Next, I will introduce you how to self-test and prevent breast cancer:


       How do I self-test for breast cancer?

Self-test time:

Women with normal menstruation can choose to have a self-test on the 9th to 11th day after the onset of menstruation. At this time, estrogen has the least effect on the mammary gland, which is in a relatively resting state, and it is easier to detect lesions.

Postmenopausal middle-aged and elderly women can choose the time of self-examination at will. Women in this age group have less estrogen in their bodies and are less affected by their mammary glands.


Breast cancer self-examination in three steps: one look, two touches and three squeezing

One look

Look in the mirror while taking a shower:

(1) Whether the breasts are symmetrical; 
(2) whether the breast skin is sunken, like a small dimple; 
(3) whether the skin of the mammary gland appears punctate, like orange peel; 
(4) Whether the nipple and areola have itching, erosion, ulceration, crusting, scaling, burning pain, and nipple retraction. 



Two touches

Touch with five fingers! Gently and elastically rub the breast and probe the mammary glands 360°; If there is a lump in the mammary gland in the shape, it means that the gland is dilated.

Generally, malignant tumors have the characteristics of deep masses, unclear borders, and hard textures.

Three squeezes

Gently squeeze the nipple with your index finger and thumb so that no fluid appears from the healthy nipple.

If there is a milky or clear liquid coming out, it indicates that the milk ducts may be dilated, so there is no need to worry.

If it is a red liquid, it may indicate a malignant tumor, and it is important to go to a regular hospital for further examination.
Note the distinction between benign and malignant breast tumors:

Benign tumors: smooth surfaces, clear edges, and back and forth when touched, most of these are breast fibroids.

Malignancy: uneven to the touch, with a fixed lump, no back and forth oscillation when touched.

For hard lumps that are not red or swollen, be sure to go to a regular hospital for further examination.

Reminder:

Take care to check the armpit and collarbone because some of the hypertrophic tissue may be around the breast in addition to the breast.

Through self-examination, women can tell if they have breast cancer. Secondly, you can also check for breast cancer through mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, and biopsy.

Most women can prevent breast cancer in time by doing a good job of self-examination, but the following groups of people have a higher risk of breast cancer and should be vigilant.
People at high risk of breast cancer:

(1) Women over 40 years old, unmarried, pregnant and breastfeeding; 
(2) Those who have menstrual cramps less than 12 years old, or menopausal age more than 55 years old; 
(3) Those with a family history of breast cancer; 
(4) Patients with benign breast diseases, such as cystic hyperplasia of the breast, single intraductal breast papilloma, etc.; 
(5) The late middle-aged and post-45 years old is the age group with a high incidence of breast cancer. 
(6) Long-term high-fat, high-calorie diet. 

People such as breast hyperplasia and fibroids often experience breast tenderness, and the human body actually has its own "antidote".
