Women’s health should start with lifestyle changes China has about 170,000 new cases of breast cancer every year, and breast cancer has ranked first in the incidence of malignant tumors among women in Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou and other cities. Every year, October is International Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which aims to advocate women to take breast health as their own responsibility, expecting more women to pay attention to their breast health, and at the same time to pass love and hope to more and more women. In China, breast cancer is the most common cancer in the female population, and there are many famous people we are familiar with, such as Li Ting and Ah Sang, among the patients. This year, the movie “The Breast Cancer Diaries”, which created a myth in TV ratings, was a silent and silent family drama. The diary of the fight against cancer “this life is not finished”. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers. This is closely related to the lifestyle habits of the urban population, he said. Only 5% of breast cancers are attributed to heredity; stress, personality, and poor lifestyle habits are triggers The official website of the American Cancer Society has a noteworthy piece of information: “About 5-10% of breast cancers can be attributed to hereditary constitution.” It is true that family history of breast cancer is a key consideration for doctors when diagnosing, but this data tells us that family genetics is not an absolute factor in breast cancer, and the majority of breast cancer patients develop the disease from themselves. With the premise that breast cancer is becoming younger, older unmarried women who have not had children are at high risk of breast cancer. Experts point out that there is no definite cause of breast cancer, but many current studies on patients show that the risk of breast cancer is higher for women who have their first child over 30 years of age or who have not given birth and are not breastfeeding than for other people, while other factors closely related to the development of breast cancer include work-life stress, personality, eating habits, exercise habits and even maintenance habits. These are the common living conditions of urban “leftover women”. When reflecting on the cause of her illness, Yu Juan said, “Because of her competitive personality, she likes to do her best in everything, and in order to become an associate professor as soon as possible, she has never slept before 12 pm. Despite the achievement in her career, she owed it to her body.” This situation is common in the group of breast cancer patients. Regarding the causes of breast cancer incidence, the unified view of domestic experts is that the high protein, high nutrition, high fat and high hormone diet of urban women is a major factor in the elevated incidence of breast cancer. Many experts have hinted that obese people have a far higher incidence of breast cancer than thin people, especially women who like to gorge on meat. Experts believe that fat is the soil for producing estrogen, and excessive fat interferes with the level of estrogen in the body, and the disruption of estrogen level is closely related to women suffering from gynecological tumors such as breast cancer and cervical cancer. There are also high estrogenic factors, such as excessive use of high protein and high hormone content health products, which may also cause breast disease attacks. Some women use breast enlargement products, which contain estrogen that will inevitably bring about endocrine disruption and the risk of cancerous breast tissue. For example, many women who love beauty like to take snow clams to achieve younger skin and fuller breasts, but excessive intake of such estrogen-rich supplements can cause metabolic disorders. The three key words for breast cancer are “early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment”, and the cure rate of stage I breast cancer can reach over 90% nowadays. In fact, there are various forms of breast cancer, and its external manifestation may not be just a lump or a small pit as we think. Yao Bei Na initially found a dimple-like pit in her left breast when she looked in the mirror. Her intuition told her that it was not good, so she went to the hospital where doctors operated on her and the pathology section proved that she had breast cancer. Due to early detection, her disease was still in its early stage. After surgery and chemotherapy, she is now as healthy as ever again. Shao said that nowadays, many women are very conscious of health care and have regular breast examinations, and the cure rate of early breast cancer is very high if detected in time. However, he reminded that for women of different ages, there are different considerations for self-examination. For women aged 20 to 40, they should develop the habit of self-examining their breasts every month, and for women over 20, it is recommended to have a breast ultrasound once a year; for those with a family history of breast cancer or over 30, they should have a mammogram once a year in addition to the breast ultrasound. Shao also introduced the method of breast self-examination: the golden time for self-examination is within a week after menstruation, when the body’s hormone level drops and the state of the breast is most relaxed, which is conducive to doing breast examination. The best choice is to take a bath, after applying the bathing liquid on your body, follow the order from inside up – outside up – outside down – inside down, stroking with a little force, and find any abnormal protrusions or other abnormalities should promptly go to the hospital for examination. During the self-examination, you should pay special attention to the upper outer area of the breast, where more than half of the breast cancers occur. However, self-examination cannot detect all early breast cancers because not all breast cancers manifest as abnormal lumps. In the face of breast cancer, we all need the courage to face the disease and change our lives. In the 10 years since the Pink Ribbon was introduced to China, the mortality rate caused by breast cancer is decreasing year by year because of the promotion of the concept of “early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment”. The theme of the “Pink Ribbon” campaign is “Courage”. In the face of breast cancer, we all need courage. Dr. Guan Jinghong of the Department of Surgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital specializes in modified radical breast cancer surgery and breast-conserving surgery, saying, “One of the significant differences between breast cancer and other cancers is the enormous damage to women’s psychology. Currently, the main treatment options for breast cancer are surgery, radiotherapy, targeted molecular therapy and endocrine therapy. Among them, surgery is the process that most patients must go through. As a female surgeon, Guan Jinghong can best understand the psychology of female patients, but in the actual surgery, whether a patient can “breast conserve” or not is based on the condition rather than the patient’s request. If the tumor is large, the boundary is unclear, and the calcification point is large, usually the breast needs to be removed. Nowadays, for breast cancer patients, breast reconstruction after mastectomy is an option. The team led by Professor Luan Jie of the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences reshapes the breasts of more than 1,000 breast cancer patients every year, and the results of the surgery can reach the level of “standing in front of the mirror with your clothes off, nothing can be seen except the surgical scars”. Professor Luan said that breast cancer patients can have a new breast reconstructed at the same time as the mastectomy, and the repair surgery immediately after the mastectomy can reduce the hospitalization time, so that the reconstructed breast has a better shape and the recovery period is shorter. In the face of breast cancer, we also need to have the courage to change our lives. Many breast cancer patients summarize the reason of their disease by saying that they are too strong. Director Tang Lili of Beijing Cancer Hospital summarized the common personality characteristics of breast cancer patients, saying that the patients she came into contact with are basically strong, capable, perfection-seeking and impatient women. If you don’t have the courage to change your lifestyle, learn to relax and slow down your life, the tumor may come back. If you don’t have the courage to change your lifestyle, learn to relax and slow down your pace of life, your tumor may come back. She was a college friend of hers. Jiang Wenli lamented that women should learn to love themselves, learn to find happiness and joy for themselves, and pay more attention to laying a good foundation of health for their bodies. The first thing is to pay attention to the regular diet. Her experience is to eat less food containing estrogen and to eat lightly. When she is not working, she chooses not to wear a bra as much as possible. Jiang is also a practicing breastfeeding mother who believes that breastfeeding will make both mother and child healthier. She recommends that women add some cheese to their diet, and her own private snack is mash. In addition, Jiang also recommends women to have breast massage before and after their period, because it is common for women to have swollen and painful breasts or slight lobular growths before and after their period. Using body wash as lubrication and massaging the breasts inward in a circular motion in the shower can help reduce lumps and swelling. Chen also recommends breast massage. She said, using the opportunity to do self-massage in the shower, not only to do breast health, but also to do breast self-examination, killing two birds with one stone. Her maintenance experience is to eat regularly and sleep well. Chen believes that women with good qi and blood will have a healthier body, and minor problems such as breast enlargement will gradually decrease. Hai Qing is often involved in health-related public welfare activities, in life is more careful and thoughtful. Although it is difficult to have a regular life as an entertainer, she still requires herself to go to bed at least two-thirds of the time each month before 10:30 a.m. and get up at 7 a.m. She usually chooses organic food as much as possible in her diet. Every morning she wakes up with a glass of warm water on an empty stomach, drinks soup before meals, and usually takes care to drink as much water as possible. When she is busy with her work, she pays attention to vitamin supplementation and never forgets to keep exercising. She usually stews herself some iced sugar snow pear, red bean barley and other soups for maintenance, which she says is much healthier than taking health care drugs.
