Risk factors for breast cancer

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in modern women. About 1.2 million women worldwide are diagnosed with the disease each year, and 500,000 women die from it. At present, the incidence of breast cancer in many cities in my country is growing rapidly, which has aroused people's close attention. The incidence of breast cancer is related to a variety of complex factors, such as high intake of high-fat and low-fiber diets, postmenopausal weight gain, smoking, radioactive exposure, pesticides and other adverse stimuli and genetic factors. Recent studies have further revealed that the occurrence of breast cancer

The estrogen level in sexual life is very closely related, and there are many risk factors in marriage, childbirth and sex.

1. Menstruation

Early menarche in women (menstruation before the age of 12), late menopause (menopause after the age of 50), and long menstruation (greater than 35 years) are all recognized risk factors. Studies have reported that menarche age is earlier than 13 years old, the risk is 2.2 times that of menarche age is greater than 17 years old; menopause age is greater than 55 years old than menopause age less than 45 years old, the risk increased by about 1 times.

2. Marriage and childbirth

Women who are single, or unmarried, not pregnant, or whose first childbearing age is more than 30 years of age over 40 years old, have a significantly higher incidence of breast cancer than women who are married and childbearing normally. The incidence of mammary glands is only about 1/3 of the first-term full-term producers before the age of 25. Women who are fertile but not breastfeeding, or who are breastfeeding for a short time, or who breastfeed on only one breast may also have an impact on the incidence of breast cancer. Therefore, proper breastfeeding after childbirth can keep the mammary glands smooth and prevent breast cancer. If you rarely breastfeed or never breastfeed, it is easy to cause breast accumulation and the risk of breast cancer is significantly increased.

3. Sex life

The quality of sexual life between husband and wife directly affects the physical health of the breast. In recent years, the lobular hyperplasia of mammary glands and the incidence of benign and malignant breast tumors have increased rapidly, which has attracted the attention of the medical community. A special domestic survey found that 86% of women with breast lobular hyperplasia never reached orgasm in their sexual lives. If a woman always has sexual excitement and cannot reach orgasm, the body will feel extremely uncomfortable, and the unreleased sexual tension can easily evolve into spasms and pain, and over time will produce psychological and pathological "stagnation", resulting in breast tissue Lesions. The conclusions drawn from the research on the personality and psychological characteristics of breast cancer patients also show that breast cancer patients have higher levels of depression and anger and internal leakage than healthy people.

4. Induced abortion

Repeated abortions can increase the likelihood of women suffering from breast cancer. A study showed that spontaneous abortion did not increase the risk of breast cancer; women who had had an abortion before the age of 18 were 110% higher than those who had not. This is because pregnant women are suddenly interrupted after each abortion, and the hormone levels in the body suddenly drop, causing the newly developed breast to suddenly stop growing, making the acinar smaller and disappearing, and the breast to recover. This kind of recovery is usually incomplete, prone to cause breast lumps and pain, can induce breast disease, repeated breast lesions can become an incentive for breast cancer.

5. Genetic factors

Among existing risk factors for breast cancer, family history is very important. The following situations should be highly suspected that women have the genetic qualities of breast cancer: multiple relatives in the paternal or maternal line have breast cancer, a family history of breast and ovarian cancer, and a family history of bilateral or early breast cancer.

6. Benign breast disease

The risk of breast cancer is related to the histological type of benign breast diseases. Currently, "non-proliferative" and "proliferative" lesions are commonly used to distinguish different risks. Non-proliferative lesions do not increase the incidence of breast cancer, and the relative risk of breast cancer in proliferative lesions increases, especially for those with lobular or ductal dysplasia.

7. Lifestyle factors

Breast cancer mortality is directly proportional to per capita annual fat consumption. Expert research believes that 60% of human health is related to lifestyle, and in this large category of lifestyle, dietary factors account for the vast majority. Scientists have compared the diet composition of American residents with a high incidence of breast cancer with the diet composition of Chinese residents with a low incidence of breast cancer and found that the total daily fat consumption per person is 2.5 times that of Americans.

Studies have shown that meat, fried eggs, butter, cheese, sweets, animal fat, etc. can increase the risk of breast cancer, while green vegetables, fruits, fresh fish, and low-fat dairy products can reduce the risk of breast cancer.

8. Other factors

In addition to family history and benign disease history, the risk of breast cancer also includes the age of menarche, the age of first delivery, parity, and the age of menopause. In addition, the risk of cancer of the opposite breast after one breast cancer is also increasing.

Fashion life pulls you to breast cancer

Breast cancer is one of the common malignant tumors that plague women's health. In recent years, girls who have breast cancer at a younger age have gradually increased. The reason is related to the so-called fashion life.

One is the change in diet structure. For example, scientific research has confirmed that the high incidence of breast cancer in Europe and the United States was related to its diet. Western scholars praised the anti-breast cancer effect of soybean products in our diet. And now our girls are instead eating high-energy Western-style fast food, especially when they often eat greasy fried foods and drink coffee-like beverages instead of green vegetables and tofu. This is really picking up other people's "garbage" and losing their baby, that is, eating more, noodles, vegetables, fruits, beans and eating less meat. Overnutrition is also the main reason for the increase in breast cancer incidence. Overnutrition and overweight can advance menarche and advance the risk of breast cancer in adulthood.

The second is to use the bra too early, especially the squeeze bra.

The third is related to children’s premature use of cosmetics. For example, a recent survey in the United States proved that wealthy and fashionable women are more likely to develop breast cancer. The reason may be related to their daily exposure to cosmetics containing estrogen-destroying .

Fourth, excessive academic pressure and lack of sleep. Some girls are prone to depression, anxiety, loneliness, depression, sorrow, irritability, and other depressive emotions. Long-term emotional stimulation, neuroendocrine system dysfunction, and breast cancer are also prone to occur.

Girls should pay attention to the following points in breast cancer prevention: eat more uncooked and high-fiber vegetables and fruits, and eat less animal foods, especially chicken, beef and pork. These foods contain estrogen, which can increase the risk of breast cancer. To control body obesity, for girls entering adolescence and development, while meeting the various nutrients needed for growth and development, they must control the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods to avoid excess calories and obesity. When you are young, try to avoid using a bra. If you really need to wear it, you must fit it and relax it. It must not exceed 12 hours a day to avoid obstructing the lymphatic system of the breast. Drink plenty of water and drink at least 6 to 10 glasses of water daily; Regular, work and rest to ensure sleep; insist on doing 20 to 30 minutes of exercise every day; avoid using drugs containing estrogen; maintain a happy mood, bad emotions are activators of cancer cells, and emotional pleasure is anti-cancer Magic recipe.
