The first type of people: mastocytosis does not heal for many years
Mastocytosis has four characteristics.
One is the appearance of lumps with indistinct edges in the breast.
Second, premenstrual breast swelling and pain, even radiating to both shoulders or back, and sometimes uncomfortable.
Third, there is a possibility of cancer, especially if it belongs to the cystic hyperplasia type, which is said to have a cancer rate of 0.35%;
Fourth, the treatment time is long and the hyperplastic tissue is poorly sensitive to drugs, or rather, there is still a lack of specific drugs for treatment.
Therefore, breast hyperplasia is still a problem for many doctors and more confusing for many women today with the advanced modern science.
The second type of person: late menarche or menopause before the age of 13
Early menarche (menstruation before the age of 12), late menopause (menopause after the age of 50) and long periods (greater than 35 years) are all recognized risk factors for the development of breast enlargement in women. Statistics show that for every 4-5 years earlier the age of menarche, the chance of breast cancer increases by a factor of 1; those who have menarche at the age of 13-15 years or older have 20% less chance of breast cancer than those who are under 12 years old. The incidence of breast cancer is lower in those who are under 55 years of age at menopause. Those with menopause age greater than 55 years old have about 1 times more risk than those with menopause age less than 45 years old.
The third type of people: repeated abortions
Repeated abortions can make women more likely to develop breast cancer. A study showed that spontaneous abortion does not increase the risk of breast cancer; however, women who had abortion before the age of 18 were 110% more likely to have abortion than those who had not. This is because after each abortion, the pregnancy is abruptly interrupted and the hormone level in the body suddenly drops, causing the newly developed mammary glands to suddenly stop growing, making the alveoli smaller or disappearing, and the mammary glands to recover. This recovery is usually incomplete and can easily cause breast lumps and pain, which can lead to breast diseases and repeated breast lesions can become a cause of breast cancer. It is better for women to get married before 28 years old.
The fourth type of people: women who marry late and have children late are prone to breast cancer
According to the data, the risk of breast cancer for women who have never given birth is 30% higher than that for women who have given birth; the relative risk of breast cancer for women over 35 years old who have had their first pregnancy is 3-4 times higher than that for women under 30 years old who have had their first pregnancy; the risk of breast cancer for women who are not breastfeeding is more than 1.5 times higher than that for breastfeeding women.
The fifth group of people: not breastfeeding or breastfeeding for too long
The sixth type of people: commonly used hormonal drugs or cosmetics
Some drugs, such as blood pressure medications like reserpine and phenothiazole, and steroids have the effect of increasing the rate of breast cancer. Some health products, skin care products and cosmetics contain cancer-causing ingredients. Evidence-based medicine shows that hormone replacement therapy during menopause increases the risk of breast cancer, so women should not take estrogen or progestin supplements casually. Phthalates are a class of chemicals that act as a softening agent. It is commonly used in toys, food packaging materials, medical blood bags and tubes, vinyl flooring and wallpaper, cleaning agents, lubricants, personal care products such as nail polish, hair sprays, soaps and shampoos, and hundreds of other products.
Among cosmetics, nail polish has the highest phthalate content, and many cosmetic fragrance ingredients also contain the substance. This substance in cosmetics can enter the body through a woman’s respiratory system and skin, and if used excessively, can increase a woman’s chances of developing breast cancer and also harm the reproductive system of their future baby boys.
The seventh type of people: obesity or excessive intake of fat
A recent study jointly published by Swedish and American scientists showed that young women with anorexia have a lower risk of breast cancer. Weight gain is one of the contributing factors to the development of breast cancer. These findings, based mostly on animal experiments, show that drastically limiting caloric intake can produce anti-aging effects, including a reduction in the incidence of cancer and a longer life span.
Type 8: Mental depression, frequent anger and bad mood
Mood depression may be related to the high-intensity stress of life at the moment. Many women have developed bad habits such as unreasonable dietary structure, bad living habits and excessive life stress. Bad living habits bring depressed spirits, which in the long run lead to acidification of the body and a decline in human functions, resulting in poor qi and blood, endocrine hormone imbalance, menstrual disorders and other phenomena thus causing breast disease, i.e. mammary gland hyperplasia. If not treated with intervention, breast cancer may be induced.
The ninth type of people: repeated long-term exposure to various kinds of radiation (multiple radiation, computer, cell phone, etc.)
Breast is the tissue that is more sensitive to the carcinogenic activity of electromagnetic radiation. The breast is the most sensitive to the carcinogenic effect of electromagnetic radiation in the mitotic activity stage when you are young.
The tenth type of people: family history of breast cancer excluding genetic causes and environmental factors
Studies show that one-third of breast cancer patients are caused by genetic inheritance. If there are mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, the chance of developing breast cancer increases to 70 to 80 percent. These two genetic variants account for only 5% of all breast cancer cases, while other women who develop breast cancer because of genetic predisposition develop the disease because of a more complex combination of genes.
