What should you pay attention to for breast health

If you want to maintain breast health, the core principle is to "do less trouble and screen frequently." Don't believe those IQ taxes on the market that "unblock breasts" and "enlarge and enhance breasts." Too many people have already fallen into this trap. I just met a 27-year-old girl in the clinic last week. She followed the trend and went to a beauty salon to get three breast oil massages. She said it could "knead" the growths away. However, she was in pain for 10 days. After a color ultrasound, it was found that it was only a slight physiological hyperplasia. The local glands were edematous due to the massage, and there were also some small cystic nodules. She suffered for nothing. Not just ordinary women, many breastfeeding mothers have also stepped into this trap. Last month, a new mother had a blocked breast and went to an unqualified breast massager to violently rub it for two hours. The fever reached 39 degrees the next day. When she arrived, it had developed into a breast abscess, and she had to incision and drainage. To be honest, the mammary glands are like a bunch of grapes growing in fat. If you rub them hard and pinch them hard, the good grapes will be broken. Those who say they can disperse the hyperplasia and remove the nodules are pure deception. If there are real nodules, the more you rub them, the more likely it will stimulate their growth.

After talking about this, many people will definitely ask, are there any dietary restrictions? Are soy products and honey not allowed to be eaten? This is also the most controversial point. Many people do think that soybeans contain estrogen, and eating too much will aggravate hyperplasia and even cause cancer. However, the current mainstream consensus in the academic community is that there is no problem in eating natural soy products normally. The phytoestrogens in soybeans are not the same thing as human estrogen. On the contrary, they can It plays a two-way regulatory role. Drinking soy milk and eating a piece of tofu will not disrupt hormone levels at all, let alone cause cancer. On the contrary, those purified soy isoflavone supplements and royal jelly freeze-dried powder that are said to be able to enlarge breasts should be eaten with caution. Supplements with uncertain ingredients are likely to interfere with one's own endocrine state.

Of course, some people say that I neither massage nor take supplements randomly. Why do I still feel bloated and painful every time before my period? In fact, most of the breast pain during menstruation is physiological hyperplasia, which is related to the fluctuation of hormone cycle. If you often stay up late, have trouble with others and sulk, the pain will be more obvious. In this case, you don’t need to take medicine at all. Adjust your daily routine and avoid unnecessary mistakes. The pain will basically relieve itself. You don’t need to feel that you are going to get breast cancer at the first pain. If you scare yourself, it will make it easier to aggravate endocrine disorders. Of course, not all hyperplasia needs to be taken care of. If it is atypical hyperplasia confirmed by biopsy, it is a precancerous lesion. For this part, just follow the specialist's plan for follow-up, and there is no need to be overly anxious.

Rather than worrying, regular screening can really help you detect problems in advance. For ordinary healthy women, it is enough to have a breast ultrasound once a year before the age of 30. After the age of 40, you can add a mammography target every year. It is not necessary to go for expensive PET-CT. Not to mention the high radiation, it is completely unnecessary. If you have a family history of breast cancer, you can start screening as early as 25 years old. The specific plan can be determined by a specialist, which is much more reliable than the fragmented information you can find online. By the way, many people like to feel for lumps when taking a shower. Don't grab and pinch them with your hands. This can easily scare normal glands into lumps. The correct way is to use the flat fingertips to massage the entire breast and armpit area. If you really feel a hard lump that cannot be pushed, or there is inexplicable bloody discharge from the nipple, go directly to the hospital to see a doctor. Don't check Baidu numbers at home, and don't blindly take folk remedies.

In fact, the breast itself is a very "emotional" organ. The more relaxed you are about it and the less you toss it, the less likely it is to cause problems. If you really feel uncomfortable, go to a doctor in a regular hospital. Don't believe the lies of those beauty salons. It is better than anything else.
