A, breast massage, breast enlargement or cancer?
With the development of the times, the industry of breast massage in beauty salons is rapidly emerging, many beauty salons under the banner of breast augmentation, health care, unblocking breast ducts, prevention of breast disease, and a lot of female customers. Can breast massage really have this miraculous effect?
In fact, Chinese medicine has massage breast points to assist in relieving breast milk during lactation, promote milk secretion, can receive certain results, but for the prevention of breast disease rhetoric inevitably exaggerated.
At present, the beauty massage industry employment qualification is mixed, breast massage treatment of breast disease has no theoretical basis, and can do the correct massage is questionable; secondly, the massage used in the composition of the essential oil is unknown, most likely to contain estrogen-like drugs, stimulating effect on the mammary glands, massage breast can prevent breast disease is not based; furthermore, if the breast itself there are tiny malignant tumor lesions, massage not only In addition, if there is a small malignant tumor lesion in the breast itself, massage not only can not play a therapeutic role, but will make the malignant cells spread rapidly and promote the progress of cancer.
Therefore, when you feel breast discomfort, you should go to a regular specialist clinic as soon as possible to rule out the possibility of malignant tumors, benign lumps to take the appropriate treatment measures. It is not reliable to apply breast massage to prevent and treat breast diseases.
The larger the breast, the higher the incidence of breast cancer?
The American genetic sequencing company “23andMe” linked seven genes as congenital determinants to breast size in 2010. The study came to this conclusion by analyzing 16,175 volunteers of European descent. The researchers further found that two of these genes were associated with the development of breast cancer, however, there is no evidence to suggest a relationship between breast size and breast cancer incidence.
Can breastfeeding cause breast sagging?
Many women are concerned that breastfeeding can cause sagging breasts, a common belief refuted by Kentucky University plastic surgeon Brian Rinker at the 2007 American Society of Plastic Surgeons meeting. The enlargement of the breasts at the beginning of pregnancy stretches the elastic fibers of the breasts tremendously and causes sagging as the breasts return to their original size at the end of breastfeeding (or in the absence of breastfeeding), with or without breastfeeding having no effect. However, smoking will destroy the elastic fibers of the breast and intensify the sagging of the breast.
Fourth, the estrogen in soy products can lead to breast cancer?
When it comes to estrogen, many women turn pale, because too much estrogen can indeed cause breast cancer, endometrial cancer, uterine fibroids and uterine bleeding.
However, the phytoestrogens in soy products are not exactly the same as animal estrogens. Phytoestrogens are a class of non-steroidal compounds with weak estrogenic properties that exist naturally in plants, and are named because their biological activity is similar to that of estrogen.
Phytoestrogens play a bi-directional role in regulating estrogen levels in the female body. Phytoestrogens have a molecular structure similar to that of estrogen and can bind to estrogen receptors in the human body, producing effects similar to those of estrogen, but this effect is less than that of physiological estrogen in the human body. When the estrogen level in the body is insufficient, its binding can play a role in supplementing estrogen; while when the estrogen level in the body is too high, its binding with the receptor can play a role in suppressing estrogen because it prevents estrogen from binding to the receptor in the body, which is equivalent to lowering the estrogen level. Therefore, phytohormones are also known as the regulators of estrogen levels in women. There is no scientific basis for the claim that consumption of soy products can cause breast cancer, and there is no direct relationship between phytoestrogens and breast cancer.
V. Must there be lumps in breast cancer?
Breast lumps are the most common clinical manifestation of breast cancer, and 80% of breast cancer patients visit the doctor with this as the main complaint. However, the clinical manifestations of breast cancer can be various and lumps are not necessary. In addition to lumps, there are also the following common clinical manifestations.
(1) Nipple discharge: Although most nipple discharge is caused by benign lesions, about 10% of hemorrhagic discharge may be confirmed as breast cancer. Most breast cancers occurring in large ducts or intraductal carcinomas are associated with nipple discharge, mostly with breast lumps, but there are still a few breast cancers that present as nipple discharge only. The nature of the overflow is mostly bloody, and a few may be plasma or watery, mostly unilateral single duct overflow.
(2) Paget’s disease: also known as eczema-like breast cancer, nipple erosion is the typical symptom of this disease, often accompanied by nipple itching and burning sensation. In the early stage, the skin of the nipple is thickened, reddened and rough, and then vesiculated, flaky and crusted, just like eczema of the skin. Further development can lead to ulceration and progressive invasion of the skin of the areola area, and the entire nipple can be eroded and disappear. About 60% of patients have breast lumps and can cause enlarged axillary lymph nodes.
(3) Inflammatory breast cancer: Its first symptom is often breast enlargement with inflammatory-like changes. The typical clinical manifestations are diffuse enlargement of the whole breast, skin congestion and edema (orange peel-like changes) in 1/3 or more of the breast, and unclear borders of the tumor on palpation.
(4) Occult breast cancer: This is a rare and special type of breast cancer. It generally refers to breast cancer with lymph node metastasis in the axilla or distant metastasis in other parts of the body but the lump cannot be palpated on clinical examination and cannot be determined by imaging examination (including mammography and ultrasound examination). Occult breast cancer is different from breast cancer without lumps on clinical examination, which can be detected by various imaging examinations.
(5) Breast cancer without lumps on clinical examination: often asymptomatic, mostly detected by screening. The mammogram may show calcification, structural distortion, focal asymmetric densities and isolated ductal dilatation. Sometimes mammogram performance is also negative, and breast MRI may show non-mass-like enhancement, etc.
Six, the price of beauty: breast augmentation you are afraid of?
Nicole Kidman had her breast implants removed, officially because she didn’t want to leave something potentially dangerous in her body. The gossip is that this is because her husband, who loves big-breasted beauties, has long since changed his mind, so there is no need to carry that stuff around. The real reason…I don’t know.
The physical effects of breast augmentation go without saying, and over time may not be as sweet psychologically as they were when they were just augmented. A study by Jacques Brisson and Louis Latulippe of Laval University in Canada, which followed 24,600 women over 15 years, found that breast implants had a 73% higher rate of suicide than non-breast implants.
