During a woman’s life, her breasts are like a tree that starts to develop from a budding state, matures from adolescence, and only after pregnancy does it really “flourish”, which is a natural process. During this process, estrogen stimulates breast development, while progesterone plays a protective role. Therefore, women who have never given birth to a child and do not breastfeed their children are prone to breast problems because they are not protected by progesterone. The high incidence of breast cancer is between the ages of 45 and 55. Although there is a trend of younger age, it is still rare for women in their twenties to get breast cancer, so young women do not need to be too nervous. However, women with family history of breast cancer and endocrine disorders (including obesity, diabetes and hypertension) should be very careful. Women who have never had children, started menstruation earlier than 12 years old or menopause later than 52 years old, late marriage, less childbearing, age of first birth older than 35 years old and short breastfeeding time are the high incidence of breast cancer. The incidence rate in large cities is significantly higher than that in small towns and rural areas. Therefore, doctors remind that in order to avoid breast enlargement, it is better to complete the life event of marriage and childbirth before the age of 35. In addition, do not breastfeed for less than a year after giving birth. The mood should always be cheerful, not sulking, too anxious and irritable, because the biggest cause of breast disease is mental factors. If you already have breast disease, emotional regulation is the first priority. Qiu Xianhua, Department of General Surgery, Anyang Cancer Hospital
