Breast health is not only the interpretation of beauty, but also a reflection of the state of mind. Because of concern, so attentive; because of attentiveness, so healthy. “Breast health care, rather than a means of disease prevention, is more of an attitude to life.” To use a simple analogy, many women of marriage age are concerned about their breast health only after they become mothers and need to breastfeed. In fact, if you want to avoid postpartum breast deficiency and optimize the quality of feeding, you must do your homework on breast health ahead of time before pregnancy. Many young women habitually equate breast disease with breast cancer, mistakenly believing that they are at risk of the disease only when they are approaching middle age. In fact, acute mastitis and mastopexy often follow young women. Therefore, it is important to start building a protective barrier from adolescence onward and expand the cycle of health care. “If girls nowadays pay as much attention to their breast health as they do to their crow’s feet, then they will be truly healthy and beautiful.” The development of breasts goes through different stages such as early childhood, puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, breastfeeding and post-menopause. Due to the different effects of endocrine hormones, the performance of the breasts at different times also has its own characteristics. Breast protection during puberty builds the first risk barrier It is like two pink buds maturing in a girl’s body, witnessing the development and growth process of a girl. When a young child becomes a shy girl, the breasts are given a beautiful meaning. Adolescence is the time when all systems of the body, especially the endocrine system, are fully developed and functioning, and breasts are also developing rapidly. Because of the inconsistent maturity of the internal structures and tissues of the breast during puberty, there may be nodules under the nipple when the breast is touched. However, such nodules will disappear during further development. Therefore, there is no need to be overly nervous and do not mistake them for breast enlargement or fibroadenoma, nor should they be easily removed surgically. During adolescence, in order to adapt to the body’s growth and development, you need to wear a suitable bra and not to girdle your breasts. You should also avoid ionizing radiation, and it is best to insist on self-massage once a day, morning and evening. Sexual maturity is the longest period in a woman’s life. It is recommended that women should arrange their marriage and childbearing age reasonably. Some data show that the age of first birth is greater than 35 years old, which is a major cause of breast cancer in women. Therefore, it is necessary to get married and have children at the right time. In addition, breast self-examination and screening should be strengthened to facilitate early detection of the disease and early healing. Breast protection during the breastfeeding period Timely “snowballing” of bad breastfeeding habits after childbirth The significance humans give to breasts goes far beyond gender and beauty, they have a more practical function, which is breastfeeding. The reason why human beings have been able to reproduce from generation to generation is that women’s breasts are indispensable. However, many young mothers often seem at a loss when faced with problems such as lack of milk and sore nipples after childbirth. Although breastfeeding after childbirth is regarded as an innate life skill for women, not every postpartum mother is able to perform the task correctly and scientifically. Sometimes some seemingly simple details of life can make or break the big picture. So, how can breastfeeding mothers “snowball” those bad postpartum breastfeeding habits in time? The actual fact is that you should keep your emotions stable and get enough sleep before giving birth, otherwise it will make the maternal milk secretion decrease. You should wash your hands before breastfeeding and scrub your nipples and areolas with warm water, and generally breastfeed once every 3-4 hours for 15 minutes, rotating both breasts. Milk should be sucked up as much as possible, and any milk that cannot be sucked up should be squeezed or sucked up with a breast pump to avoid the accumulation of milk and inflammation; avoid letting the baby develop the bad habit of sleeping with milk. If the nipple and areola are damaged or if there is infection around the baby’s mouth and lips, they should be treated promptly to prevent bacterial invasion causing acute mastitis in the mother. Weaning at the right time. The general breastfeeding period should be 6-12 months. Too long a period of time not only does not meet the physiological needs of the baby, but also leads to excessive atrophy of the maternal mammary glands and other reproductive organs. If there is still more milk before weaning, you can take a decoction of 30 grams of raw hawthorn and 30 grams of raw malt in Chinese medicine, or crush 250 grams of skin nitrate and wrap it in a cloth bag and put it on the breast. Postmenopausal breast protection A little more care, a little less danger They care more about their family’s daily meals than their own physical condition. However, women at this age are most vulnerable to malignant breast disease. Unfortunately, as women age, the attention paid to their breasts shows a negative growth. In postmenopausal women, the breast tissue shrinks significantly, the size of the breast shrinks, and function is gradually lost. This is because when certain changes occur in the breasts, they often do not attract enough attention. Therefore, it is necessary to remind women at this age to pay more attention in their daily life. For example, when taking health care and tonic products, they should prevent the intake of ingredients containing sex hormones in order to reduce the adverse stimulation of the breasts by too much estrogen in the body. In case of serious menopausal symptoms, women should use estrogen under the guidance of a specialist to improve their quality of life. In addition, attention should be paid to the regulation of emotions. Drastic changes in mood can affect the normal regulation of the neuroendocrine system and lead to breast diseases. Wearing the right bra is very important for women at this age. It can play a role in protecting, holding up and stabilizing the breasts to prevent sagging, excessive swing and trauma. The bra should not be too loose or too tight, and the material is generally soft, sweat-absorbing and elastic natural fabrics.
